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.

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.

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.

If we seek for the best times to act, we may missed some opportunities. We must seize every moment and make it great.

For me, leadership is making a difference. It's using your agency to bring about change.

To be in a body is to hear the heartbeat of death at every moment.

Take on jobs, projects and challenges that frighten you. It's the best way to get rid of fear.

A scientist builds in order to learn; an engineer learns in order to build.

I think that emotionally, I've probably felt a little bit more balanced when I started writing again.

The figure is just the most represented tool to get thoughts and feelings across.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life.

The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart.

It is a major world power, and today it is an economic and military leader - no doubt about it. That is why America has a strong influence on the situation in the world in general.
