When I see that little white ball go up, I want to catch it, no matter what. If I have to knock myself silly doing it, so be it.
I ate the Green Monster. It tasted pretty nasty. It was pretty painful.
I was raised in the church by my grandmother who made sure we went to Sunday School, read the Bible and went to church every Sunday. Every night we read Bible stories before we went to bed.
I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.
I'm older, and I'm better. I'm not old, but I'm older and wiser.
I go out every day and try to play great defense. I know my hitting will improve.
I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.
Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.
I wouldn't play in Minnesota unless my career was at an end and I had to go to Minnesota to play the game.
I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.
I still don't understand why we couldn't pick him up. But we missed that opportunity. We have Tony, and we're going to have to deal with that. Pitchers still know the name. He's a threat. If you make a mistake, he will knock you out.
This year I feel like I'm better at the plate. Every year I make adjustments.
