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.

I'm older, and I'm better. I'm not old, but I'm older and wiser.

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 try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.

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

I wouldn't play in Minnesota unless my career was at an end and I had to go to Minnesota to play the game.
