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'm a baseball player. I'm also a guy who mows his lawn and plays with his dog.

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

I hope I haven't maxed out, because I'm not satisfied. I hope I can be a better ball player, and I hope I'm on my way.

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 actually don't think that I have a problem playing for managers. But history, people might think otherwise.

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