Baseball is a game of failure. There are plenty of opportunities to be down, or to feel sorry for yourself, or to be upset at somebody or upset at yourself.

You can never completely get it - being a Christian - but I think I really got it when my first son was born in 2006. I just realized the love that God has for all of us. It was seeing my son born and knowing the unconditional love that I have for him.

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

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

We can't be perfect all the time and that's okay. In the heat of the battle, in the heat of the moment, you might say things or do things that aren't right, but at the same time, Christ forgives us. Christ will always forgive you.

I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!

It's just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.
