My father was strict and always taught me, no matter who it is, everybody is an uncle. To me, everybody was someone I respect like family. I grew up with that.

That's the game of baseball - amazing things happen.

I don't feel invincible because I'm human.

I like a calm life where nobody bothers me.

I'm a simple guy, you know? If I do something, it's not going to be, 'Look at this, look at that.' It just happens.

I think the good Lord is a Yankee.

I demand my kids be respectful, responsible and grateful. And they have to love the Lord with all their hearts.
