I had a great time with baseball growing up. I was lucky to grow up with it and to learn.

You look at all the great players that they've had and the potential of playing in Yankee Stadium.

When you get on base, holes open up and things happen and you're able to find a way to score runs.

I just wanted to go play in the big leagues. But possibly playing for the Yankees is very special.

I was happy that I was drafted, and then it was the Yankees and that just made it even better.

I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.
