I enjoy every bit of baseball I can get.

I remember quotes in the paper, 'Here comes the man that New York loves to hate.' Man? None of you have probably ever eaten steak with me or rice and beans with me to understand what the man is about. You might say the player, the competitor, but the man? You guys have abused my name. You guys have said so many things, have written so many things.

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

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

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.

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.

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