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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

You name it, I've got it. Some players have to be 100 percent (to play), but I don't.
