I go out every day and try to play great defense. I know my hitting will improve.

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

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

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

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.

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 just didn't have no edge for baseball. Once special coach Tony Oliva and former Twins coach Al Newman told me what happened, I couldn't function.
