Baseball can be a game of peaks and valleys. Mentally, I want to stay away from the ups and downs and just maintain a level approach.

The American Museum of Natural History is my son's absolute favorite place in the world! So we really, really, really love New York.

I expected to be in the big leagues soon. I didn't know exactly how soon, but I wanted to be here soon, and I wanted to make a difference soon.

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

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 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.
