The bat is gone, but the smile remains.

I gave out stars whenever an appropriate situation presented itself.

Reporters often forget that athletes are human beings.

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

I loved to hit with men on base and with the game on the line.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

I never search for a reason why - I have faith in the Lord's purpose.
