After The Partridge Family I worked as a stable boy for Kenny Rogers for a while. But during the show my Mom and I had a couple of horses named Beauty and Patience. Neither attribute was possessed by these horses.

I've pitched well enough that if unfortunately I don't make the team here, I'll have a chance somewhere else. My performance has been the best I've had in any spring.

I'm into flames these days. I'm a little guy who needs to do big things.

I've got plenty of gas left. I know that for a fact.

I've always been humbled by this game. I've had success, yeah. But I've always known some day it would end. Last year could have been the end, but I have an opportunity to do it again. I'm going to make the most of it, and I'm very confident in my ability.
