As long as I have fun playing, the stats will take care of themselves.

He's (Jack McKeon) been around baseball for twenty-plus years. He knows what it takes to be a manager. I hope he gets the chance.

The last time I put on this uniform (Cincinnati), I think I was eight, for a father-son game.

Its a game, and that’s how I am going to treat it.

Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

I remember when I was a kid being called names, including the 'n' word. The first time that happened, it really bothered me. But most of the people I dealt with were all white. Most of my close friends were white.

This is something I dreamed about as a little kid, being back in my hometown (Cincinnati) where I watched so many great players.
