I love L.A., but you can get into a lot of trouble out here.

I didn't know if I could make it to the big leagues without going through Triple-A.

I've pretty much grown up to hide my emotions for the most part.

Racism is kinda old. For real.

If I could do it over, I'd want to come up to the big leagues like Mike Trout. He's exciting and I like watching him.

I don't think some athletes understand how big it is to be an athlete, what they can do with just a simple gesture of shaking a kid's hand. It can make a fan's day. It can make a fan's life.

Everybody used to say that baseball players can't dress and athletes can't dress. You know, a lot of athletes now are trying to prove everybody wrong, though there are some athletes that try too hard and try to do over-the-top things. But me, I try to be simple and just make whatever I'm wearing look good.
