hard-work talking people
I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.
decided felt good willie
It's the same thing I felt in New York. I decided to tell Willie I wasn't going to be able to make it. It's tough. I felt good at the plate, but I want to be 100 percent.
admiration great opportunity players team unique
It's great to be a part of this. It's such a unique opportunity to be on the same team with players who I have so much admiration for.
happens hearts love wants worried
I'm not worried at all. I don't press. No one wants to go out and get booed, but that's what happens when you play here. The fans, they're passionate, they love the game. I know in their hearts they want me to go out and do well.
adjustment knows period satisfied
There's a period of adjustment he's going through. I know he's not satisfied with his performance. He knows he can do better, and he knows he will do better.

Last year I didn't have fun a lot. This year I'm really having fun.

I just feel happy that I'm alive and that I'm going to be back on the field.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.
baseball jesus heart
When I was in Kansas City everything was going well for me. My marriage was good and I was very successful in baseball but something was missing in my life. That something was Christ. Every human being is born with a little defect in his heart. That defect is a hole in the heart that can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
I have more confidence than I ever have before.
baseball team mean
I used to think it would be neat to play my whole career with one team. But as a baseball player you want to come to the ballpark every day knowing you have a chance to win and that the games mean something.
running home giving
Running after balls, diving, taking a home run away, it gives me such a good feeling. I am happy to do it.
people ordinary would-be
I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.
player want praying
I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.
