I mean, I think we are a better team than last year offensively, but there is always a question with the Minnesota Twins. We'll just have to wait and see.
To catch a ball, I'd commit suicide.
Now you have kids that say, 'I wanna be Torii Hunter one day.' Man, I love that.
I attribute being a good center fielder to many things, but being outside with friends as a kid, running around and racing, that was a big part of it.
I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.
Christ always had a passion for whatever He was doing. That's how I try to define myself as an athlete. That's the example I try to follow.
I just didn't have no edge for baseball. Once special coach Tony Oliva and former Twins coach Al Newman told me what happened, I couldn't function.
I love the Twins, ... I bleed the Twins. That's all I know. If I go anywhere else, I'd be a foreigner.
Whether I'm down or whether things are great, I try to stay the same person all the time.
I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood I'm on you .. and I'm about to taste blood.
People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors,
You name it, I've got it. Some players have to be 100 percent (to play), but I don't.
I want my teammates to see that I'm following Christ. But, I'm also human, so there are times I slip and make mistakes but I know Christ forgives me.
I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I'd sacrifice my body if I have to. I've done that my whole career.
