I've always felt that I need to be somebody in the middle of the lineup that's going to drive in runs and come up with big hits.

The Red Sox didn't handle negotiations with any kind of respect for me and my family, and the Rangers were the total opposite.

I don't play to prove people right or wrong. I just want to win.

I would tell everyone to go to college, no matter what. It gives you time to grow up.

I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.

I have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there's always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day, then it'll stop working. And then you have to reset the time and date, which is annoying.

New York City is the capital for Baseball, not just for the pros, but also for the kids throughout the city, as well. No matter who you root for, the Borough Cup is going to make every kid and community that participates a winner.
