I heard that in the United States the level of baseball was the highest in the world. So it was only natural that I would want to go there, as a baseball player.

With the World Baseball Classic, this year is a bit different. Our goal will be to win the tournament and after that I'll start thinking about the regular season.

If I hadn't been President of the United States, I probably would have ended up a piano player in a bawdy house.

The presidency of the United States is an incredible thing. You have an ability to effectuate change at the highest level.

The cheapest natural gas in the world is in the United States.

I feel really proud I'm one of only two to be playing in the final. I sense Major League Baseball is hurting a little bit.
