That's a monkey off my back. That's what I wanted to do, get one hit at least and get myself in a groove, and hopefully I won't be as nervous when I get another at-bat.
I'm not going to play something just because of stereotypes, ... I'm going to play it because I love it.
It was crazy when they picked me. Everybody had their reaction, and it was just a good time.
It's exciting to be here - and to have my own locker.
He always tells me that, ... And I always tell him the same.
