I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.

My first ball I ever got from a big-league player I actually got to purchase in Dodger Stadium in a silent auction, was Reggie Jackson.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

I believe that if you're healthy, you're capable of doing everything. There's no one else who can give you health but God, and by being healthy I believe that God is listening to me.

Every time I feel mad or something, I run somewhere. It gets my frustrations away. I run and run and run.

My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.

Some of the things I've done are really special.
