Don't worry about what the people say; be yourself, say what you want to say WITH respect.

I think the good Lord is a Yankee.

I know there are millions of people praying for me, and I strongly believe in prayers.

I think God gave talent to different people in different areas.

I get over bad games right away. Sometimes I've let it go even before I've left the mound. That quick. Why? Because it's over. What can you do about it? Nothing. The only thing you can do is fight if you're still in the game. After that you can do nothing.

Baseball was just the avenue that the Lord used so I can provide for my family.

I learned early in my life that sometimes I'm going to lose. I don't like it, but I accept it, meaning that I understand it's going to happen. But I don't see it like defeat; I see it like a learning process. Then if there's nothing to learn, I move on.
