Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.
It's a relief now to be able to stand next to my godfather and finally feel like I've accomplished something in the game of baseball.

We've got a winning record, so it's not a big deal. There are times you're going to be a part of it and times you're not going to be a part of it.
