I understand business and understand the ugly face of baseball, which is the business part of baseball.

I just try to do what I have to do and let the people out there do what they have to do, which is have fun, scream, yell and jump around. I try to do what I have to do, which is play baseball, and I can only play in that piece of area there, so that's what I try to do.

Some other things I don't miss: the media and the pressure of just being asked to do, and being asked questions every day.

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

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.

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

If you want to follow some good steps, it would Proverbs, all over.
