I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That's something I don't have in me.

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

I keep active because I have not announced my retirement, because that is something that takes time and you have to plan it. Plus, it is something that the Dominican people expected.

Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.

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.

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