If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.

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

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.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.

I think any great performer or athlete has to have a little bit of a gut to be great.

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.

God has given me a lot of ability to play the game of baseball.
