If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.

I like the challenge. I do not like the attention.

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'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.

You can't have a family when you're playing because you're away from home so much. So believe me, I won't be pitching forever. I won't make it to 300 wins or anything like that. No way.

I want to feel secure personally. Have a competitive team out there -- I really want to win; I hate losing -- and, I guess, I want to be treated like a normal person.

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