I've always liked doubles. When you scald the ball on a line to the gap, I think that's about as close to a perfect swing as you can get.

When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.

If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.

Agile, athletic, sleek-all these things describe my game!

I like feeling my way into different minds and experiences. It comes naturally and always has.

Everything was happening all the time. You never needed television.

Everything takes meticulous planning and nothing works out the way it's supposed to.

Nothing shall I, while sane, compare with a friend.

We were created for meaningful work, and one of life's greatest pleasures is the satisfaction of a job well done.
