The overriding thing has to be a love for people. If you don't love people, you don't care if we live in a morally degrading society. Christ is about love, and that's what we want to be about as well.

I want to be a guy who produces runs, who drives in runs, who can beat you with a single or can beat you with a home run, who's just a tough out.

One-run games can go either way, and most of the time they do.

I've always liked doubles. When you scald the ball on a line to the gap, I think that's about as close to a perfect swing as you can get.

I wish I was just a left-handed hitter. It's really tough having to keep both sides sharp, and that's one reason why you don't see switch-hitters hit for that high of an average. You're always fighting one side or the other.

The mark of a good hitter is someone who hits the ball hard, often. And if you run into a few home runs, that's fine.

Agile, athletic, sleek-all these things describe my game!
