I love the Twins, ... I bleed the Twins. That's all I know. If I go anywhere else, I'd be a foreigner.

I wouldn't play in Minnesota unless my career was at an end and I had to go to Minnesota to play the game.

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.

People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors.

I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.

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.

When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
