For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right.

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 want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.

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 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.

People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors.

Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.

With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.

I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.

When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.

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 personally cannot discern a shred of evidence for ‘[intelligent] design.’ If 97% of all creatures have gone extinct, some plan isn't working very well!

Every man's island, Jean Louise, every man's watchman, is his conscience. There is no such thing as a collective conscience.

After a tragic incident you never remain the same. You pick up the pieces and emerge as a stronger, better version of yourself.

The journalist must strive to find out what is going on and tell it, not neuter the truth in the name of equal time.

You can only cure retail but you can prevent wholesale.

It's not enough to be compassionate. You must act.

It gives me the same pleasure when someone else proves a good theorem as when I do it myself.

When we find ourselves wondering about the meaning of conditions and events, its always useful to ask, who profits?

Generally, I tend to despise human behavior rather than human creatures.

Give me blood and I will give you freedom!
