When I see that little white ball go up, I want to catch it, no matter what. If I have to knock myself silly doing it, so be it.

I was raised in the church by my grandmother who made sure we went to Sunday School, read the Bible and went to church every Sunday. Every night we read Bible stories before we went to bed.

Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.

My mother made sure we stayed involved in the church and the things of God. My relationship with Christ came about through that and the influences of my mother and grandmother helped my faith to grow.

For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right.

I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.

To catch a ball, I'd commit suicide.
