Different people, different backgrounds, different ideals... We walk in different doors at the beginning of the day, and we walk out of different doors at the end of the day. But when it is time to go out on that field, we all go through the same door.

I hope I haven't reached a pinnacle...I hope there's something more for me in baseball and in life.

The way I perform best is with a clear and happy mind.

My dream was to play Major League baseball. I've lived that dream.

I play baseball and I like to read. What makes that odd?

I've been given an opportunity right now and I'm going to run through a wall to try to take advantage of it.

I enjoy coming to the ballpark every day. I don't go to work. I come here to play.
