You name it, I've got it. Some players have to be 100 percent (to play), but I don't.

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.

Love and compassion are the creating and sustaining elements of humanity, without them humanity will be inhumane.

If he is a God of sound judgment, that sound mind must be revealed in people who identify themselves with him on daily basis

You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life.

Adjusted for inflation, somebody going to college today to a state university, is paying about 300 percent of what her mom or dad did just 30 years ago.

I didn't break the rules, but I challenged the rules.

As you speed along the highway of life ... you might pause and consider. When everything's coming your way, maybe you're driving in the wrong lane.

One thing I discovered is that the book world is vast. It's easy to walk around the store - even the room with literature and poetry, where I work most often - and feel overwhelmed.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you.

So that's it? Your just going to give up?! After everything that has happened, your not going to even try?! You still don't know..... what truly matters.
