I've been playing baseball since I was 5 or 6 years old. I've been on a schedule, pretty much, since I was in eighth, ninth grade. I look forward to not doing that.

My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

He always messes with the lineup. The thing is, it doesn't matter if you hit 1, 2, 3 or ninth, you still have to have good at-bats.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

There's feelings there, but I think I've just been pretty good at trying to hide my emotions throughout the years. I try to have the same demeanor each and every day.
