Kirby played every day. You feed off of that. When you think of Kirby, you think of motivation. Im definitely going to dedicate this year to him.

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.

With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.

I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.

My faith is what makes me strong. Without faith, there are only low times.

I ate the Green Monster. It tasted pretty nasty. It was pretty painful.

When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.
