Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be something.
You can have fun, respect the game and also play it hard. When you have that combination, you're going to put yourself in a position to be successful.
This is how I define grace: youre on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. Thats where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know Im prepared.
Looks aren't the number one thing. They have to have class, intelligence, then looks. If I was the ugliest SOB in the world it would be a lot easier.
I'm having a hard time finding a date. I don't trust any women I meet. I'm very skeptical.
There's no place like New York. And I found out that until you go through it for a season, you really don't know it.
I think it's just getting comfortable in New York City, comfortable in your own skin.
Well, Milwaukee is a special place to me. It's where I started my career playing in Appleton. Getting cheered on the road is something I haven't been use to.
People now are beginning to cheer for me. I've never heard that before. .. Maybe things are turning a bit.
If my life depended on it - if my daughter's life depended on it - I'd want Mariano Rivera closing. Wouldn't you?
I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?
I kept thinking my father would come back, But he never did.
I truly believe my job starts the minute I leave the baseball field. Going out and catching ground balls and hitting, that's a job, and that's what I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid. But when you think about leaving that field, that's when the job and the demands really start. In New York, Seattle, every city. The community, the media, business stuff. You have to stay on a narrow path.
I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.
