Wiffle ball was my first experience hitting left-handed.

My dad used to do it when we were little, and I tried it when we played around in the back yard. Eventually, I got a bat and a real ball and played around to see if I could hit left-handed.

I like hitting left-handed pitchers, I really do; that's my forte.

When the ball was hit, my first reaction as a shortstop was always go in the direction of the ball. You can't do that at first base. You go too far in that direction, and it's hard to scurry back and be ready to pick the throw.

When I left Tampa Bay, I felt like if my career ended at that point, I'd be okay.

You want to represent Christ well with doing you job, first and foremost, because that's what you're there to do.
