Billy Mueller's my favorite ballplayer. I keep telling my son every time he watches the game to watch this guy. He's a guy who earns every bit of his success out on the baseball field the way he approaches the game, the way he plays, switch-hitting. That's the kind of ballplayer I want my son to be.

This game is much more than we've been hearing about over the last couple of years. Players do have passion for this game. Players do respect the game. Players are clean. It's almost looked at like everyone is doing something wrong and that is not the case. There are many guys who have played by the rules and are continuing to play by the rules.
