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.

When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.

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

It was so much fun working with these young kid actors. We had a great time and those kids are truly amazing.

To catch a ball, I'd commit suicide.

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