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.
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.
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.
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.
My life is in shambles. It is crazy. It couldn't get any crazier. I'm just trying to stay sane.
It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.
