Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.

There is no doubt about how hard it is to stay on top in any sport, but to do it in an individual sport for the majority of your career, it is not easy.

It's one-on-one out there, man. There ain't no hiding. I can't pass the ball.

There should be more of an off-season in the game. I think you need to have less tournaments, more of a break at the end of the year so guys can recover.

That's not what I'm looking forward to, just being home and just kind of not really sure kind of what to do with myself.

I am here for the goal, and the goal is to try to do it again.

Retirement is a work in progress. I try to figure out my day, and what I know about myself is that I need structure.
