It's a great feeling to have the stadium rocking and chanting my name.

I grew up with video games. My generation kind of grew up with the Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. Then, I had a Dreamcast and, finally, the PlayStation. So yeah, I've always been a big gamer.

When times get rough, keep your head up.

I've always been big. I'm never going to be an underwear model. But I am who I am, and that has its advantages and disadvantages.

Baseball is a game-I just go out there and enjoy it.

I guess I'm getting older. I hate to say it, but I guess I am.

Liberty and democracy are eternal enemies, and every one knows it who has ever given any sober reflection to the matter.
