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

Every time I pray, I ask for forgiveness. I'm a sinner. I sin every single day. But I do know that God loves me. I do know that God forgives me. It helps me in my every day life because there's nothing anyone can do to me that I can't forgive them for.

Being from Baltimore, I'm a crab cake snob, and I'm very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.

I have a relationship with Christ. It allows me to handle situations better. It allows me to treat people better and it allows me to have a better mental attitude towards baseball.

I have confidence that whatever I set in my mind will happen. Everything I strived for I reached.

My goal was to go to college and come out the best player.

I was always a neat kid. I never wanted my hands dirty. I wasn't a dirty kid. A lot of kids like to run around. If I was rolling around the dirt, I went home and took a shower. That's just the way I was. I'm not sure. I might have been born with it.
