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.

My first postseason home run was a walk-off in the Division Series. That was just a special moment in my career.

Home runs come in bunches. You can go two weeks without one or hit four in a week. Sometimes, you just feel that stroke for a week or two weeks straight.

I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That's all I need.

Its a real honor to be included among the list of finalists, when you see the names that are there, ... Some of the guys who won the Hank Aaron Award in the past are thought of as some of the best players in the history of the game, so just to be included with those guys is really gratifying.

I'm so excited about the new [Yankee] stadium!

Agents are probably going to hate me for saying it... You're not very valuable when you're making $20 million. When you're Mike Trout, making the minimum, you are crazy valuable. My first six years, before I was a free agent, I was very valuable. But there's nothing you can do that can justify a $20 million contract.
