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

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.

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

I mean, I think we are a better team than last year offensively, but there is always a question with the Minnesota Twins. We'll just have to wait and see.

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