I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.
I don't know if the record is going to happen. I don't really think about the record. There are other things I worry about.
I know when I'm off alignment. I know when my body is out of adjustment. If your body is there, then mentally, you'll be there. If your body feels good, then your mind feels good and your are going to feel better about your game.
I never stop looking for things to try and make myself better.
My career is an open book, but my life is not
There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run
I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.
I think of myself as 'catching' the ball with my bat and letting the pitcher supply the power.
As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.
I don't ever remember having any bad times here in Pittsburgh.
It's not the name that makes the player. It's the player
Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.
I have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level.
I don't know what my future is.
