race motorcycle use
Do I race motorcycles? I do. I use the word 'race' because, I admit, what I do on a motocross bike is different than riding a Harley down the street.
athlete world fields
I'm a Mormon. I don't do a lot of the off-the-field activities that athletes are known to do. And I guess I've created a world that is unlike the typical world of a professional athlete.
baseball hate men
If you want to get to know me, you have to get off the baseball field. Because when I'm on the field, and in the clubhouse, I'm doing what I'm paid to do, what I love to do, and man, I hate it when I fail.
hurt play guy
Some guys play not to get hurt, and they're never really as good as they can be. That's not the way I play.
cowboy guy personality
I like the laid-back, polite, respectful courteous personality cowboys have. Guys almost lay down their life for you if they're your friends. You exist on a handshake rather than a signed contract.
mvp trophies championship
I can't be No. 1 with an MVP trophy. I could be No. 1 with the championship ring and the championship trophy on my fireplace.

Winning is the only thing that makes me happy. Ask my wife. I don't get happy about anniversaries or birthdays. I don't care about that. Just winning.

A lot of young kids have had opportunities to play,
guys
It hurts. I think guys were disappointed in themselves, a little embarrassed.
add baseball compare game great hand home
I think the game was out of hand before that (home run). It doesn't (mean a great deal) because I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm not a baseball historian. I don't go home and add it up. I'll add it all up after I retire.
five four last
It's not about the money. I've got enough money. My last four or five years, all I've wanted was to be part of a winner.
came final game hair head last people pulling racking talked whether
I think (Tuesday) was the final decision. I'd been racking my brain, pulling my hair out (about whether to retire). I talked to some people in the game and my family, most importantly. It came to a head last night.
