This man here has taught me so much, and he guided me through a lot of things. He was just special.
You have no idea how excited I am.
When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.
And, you know, you try and preach to them there's more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There's some dedication in it, some love you've got to put into this work.
For me, baseball is about, again, the team winning.
When I signed a contract, I was here to play 162 games.
No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good.
I'm now the hitting the instructor with the Cleveland Indians.
You win as a team, you lose as a team, you also do so many things together.
It makes you feel at home when you can talk to somebody and really talk about anything.
And I tell you that's one of the reasons why I didn't have the friendships with the media, maybe like I could have. But I had to do what I had to do to make myself successful.
