I try not to pay much attention to what people say-I just try to concentrate on the game.

I like triples-when I hit a ball in the gap, all I think about is a triple.

Patience is very important, especially at the plate.

I'm the leadoff hitter, it's my job to lead this team. I know people say the way I go is how the Mets go, so I'll do whatever it takes.

I never thought I might become famous. It takes getting used to.

I put the ball in play. That's what I want.

When I get to first base, I start thinking about third.
