Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.

For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right.

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.

With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.

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 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.

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.
