Christ always had a passion for whatever He was doing. That's how I try to define myself as an athlete. That's the example I try to follow.

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.

My favorite book in the Bible is always Proverbs because it's where you can find wisdom for no matter what you're going through. It hits me every time I read it. I've always read Proverbs regularly because it helps me deal with what's happening every day in real life.

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

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