You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.

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

People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

Simple pleasures were all the pleasures that I knew as a child.

That's where the future lies, in the youth of today.
