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.

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 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.

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.

To catch a ball, I'd commit suicide.

I attribute being a good center fielder to many things, but being outside with friends as a kid, running around and racing, that was a big part of it.

I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.
