If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.

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

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

Actually the adrenaline of the game will probably help me out a little bit to regain command and concentration about the things that I have to do.

Before, if I wasn't in baseball, I wanted to become a doctor.

I believe I have a responsibility that goes along with the money I make. I can help a lot of people.

Baseball is a game of the soul.
