baseball sorry opportunity
Baseball is a game of failure. There are plenty of opportunities to be down, or to feel sorry for yourself, or to be upset at somebody or upset at yourself.
running home player
I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.
children important helping
Education is very important to me, as is helping children.
mom baseball brother
My dad and all my family were into baseball. His brothers, my mom's brothers, my mom's father. Baseball was just always a part of our family.
baseball husband father
No matter what I do on the baseball field, no matter how hard I try to be a good player, no matter how hard I try to be a good father or a good husband, I can never do enough. I can never be perfect in this world. But God's there to tell me that it's not what you do, it's whom you believe in and it's Him loving me.
new-york son museums
The American Museum of Natural History is my son's absolute favorite place in the world! So we really, really, really love New York.
beautiful children three
I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That's all I need.
christian son unconditional-love
You can never completely get it - being a Christian - but I think I really got it when my first son was born in 2006. I just realized the love that God has for all of us. It was seeing my son born and knowing the unconditional love that I have for him.
couple successful thinking
One thing that I've realized is that you're never going to be 100 percent successful. You're always going to be let down. When you have God in your life and you follow Christ, you're never going to be let down. Every time that you fail, He's there to pick you right back up. Every time you think the world's going to end because you had a couple of bad games, God's there to remind you that's not what it's all about.
running home two
Home runs come in bunches. You can go two weeks without one or hit four in a week. Sometimes, you just feel that stroke for a week or two weeks straight.
seems three
The unfortunate thing is that I've been here three years and it seems like that at the end of three years, we're right where we started.
picking states united united-states wrong
You can't go wrong going with the United States and picking us as the favorites.
empty everybody feeling great wants
You can put up great numbers, and everybody wants to do that. But if you don't win, it's an empty feeling for yourself and your fans.
baltimore love loved playing
I'm a Baltimore guy. I've always loved Baltimore and always will love Baltimore, but baseball is baseball, and when you're playing on the opposing team, you're going to get booed.
