dad early extra hard hitting lift morning pops run single watching work worked
My dad, he worked rebar, an ironworker. Watching my pops get up every single morning, going into work, working hard - I think that really made me want to work that hard, wanted to make me get up early and go for a run or get a lift in or get some extra hitting in and really try to better myself every day.
bad guys hard people players rap work
Baseball players have such a bad rap of, like, 'We don't work out or we're not strong or this or that.' Guys work so hard in baseball, it's incredible. But people don't know that.
dad full hit looked swing worked
The full thing is God-given. I don't know how I got my swing or what I did. I know I worked every single day. I know I did as much as I could with my dad. But I never really looked at anything mechanical. There was nothing really like, 'Oh, put your hands here.' It was, 'Where are you comfortable? You're comfortable here; hit from there.'
baseball came dress field life nobody noticed worked
I went to school, but nobody really noticed me. I just came to school, didn't dress up or anything - just a ghost. I just worked out and went out to the field and went the baseball route. That's how I've always been my whole life.
body good hard single sure treat work
I can't just go to McDonald's after I'm done working out. I'm going to treat my body like it's the only body I'm ever going to have. I'm going to make sure it's strong and it's good. I'm really going to work hard every single day.
good great hope leave nice polite
D.C. fans, I think, are so good. They just come up to me, and they're so nice and so polite and just, 'Hey, I hope you have a great career,' and 'How are you doing, everything's good?' That's pretty much where they leave it at.
baseball sides want
I don't want everybody to just see the baseball side of me.
baseball needs superstar
Baseball needs more superstars.
thinking people want
I think you have to be respectful to the people who want to talk to you.
nice thinking careers
D.C. fans, I think, are so good. They just come up to me, and they're so nice and so polite and just, 'Hey, I hope you have a great career,' and 'How are you doing, everything's good?' That's pretty much where they leave it at.
baseball player trout
Mike Trout is unbelievable. He's one of the best players in baseball right now, if not the best.
perfection
I expect perfection from myself.
thinking play balls
I think I play center field better than I do anywhere else. I have enough speed and enough reaction to know where the ball goes off the bat.
want teammate knows
I want my teammates to know I have their backs.
