love-is men my-family
I'm a family man. I just love being around my family.
player want praying
I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.
people ordinary would-be
I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.
running home giving
Running after balls, diving, taking a home run away, it gives me such a good feeling. I am happy to do it.
baseball team mean
I used to think it would be neat to play my whole career with one team. But as a baseball player you want to come to the ballpark every day knowing you have a chance to win and that the games mean something.
I have more confidence than I ever have before.
baseball jesus heart
When I was in Kansas City everything was going well for me. My marriage was good and I was very successful in baseball but something was missing in my life. That something was Christ. Every human being is born with a little defect in his heart. That defect is a hole in the heart that can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
mom dad given
My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.
ball hit score today
We can score a lot of runs, we know that. As a team, we know we can go out there and hit the ball well. Today was one of those days.
depending good great runs score
We can score a lot of runs and we know that. It's a great lineup and the good thing about it is we're not depending on one or two guys. We're depending on everyone.
good time
I wasn't pressing. I just wasn't getting hits. I had a good spring. It was just time for me to come through.
came knows mike praying worst
Mike came out of it with the worst part. He knows we're praying for him. He'll be fine. It's part of the game.
good
We know we are a good team, and we feel good about our start.
affected ball city experience good hit hole hurt knowing learning steal time took year
When I got hurt this year I feel that really affected me, took a lot away from me. I wasn't able to steal bases. Every time I hit the ball in the hole I wasn't able to run. I just couldn't run. It's kind of frustrating because you feel like you would have done a better job. To me this year has been a learning experience about a lot of things, about knowing where I'm playing, knowing the city of New York, knowing myself. I feel good with it.
