identity streaks
The streak has become my identity; it's who I've become.
baseball kids games
I love baseball. The game allowed me the influence to impact kids in a positive way. This gives me a chance to talk to some social issues.
player reality play
The reality is that players can't play forever.
people keep-going
I was always compared to the Energizer Bunny in my consecutive game streak because every day I showed up and went to work and they said he keeps going and going and going, but a lot of people do that.
fall responsibility games
I don't love the idea of the responsibility falling on the manager. That just adds to their in-game responsibility.
stars thinking people
I think Nick Markakis is a perennial All-Star, and nobody knows about him. I think people are learning about how good he is.
baseball jobs passion
The best thing you can do in the whole world is to play baseball. That's a lucky job... The passion for baseball is always going to be there.
effort trying wells
All I really try and do is live up to my potential and do as well as I possibly could and to bring to the ballpark each and every day a good effort and do the best that I could each and every day.
adversity past thinking
A lot of people think I had such a rosy career, but I wanted to identify that one of the things that helps you have a long career is learning how to deal with adversity, how to get past it. Once I learned how to get through that, others things didn't seem so hard.
leadership jobs ifs
If you do a job, do it right or there is no point.
games trying today
Get in the game. Do the best you can. Try to make a contribution. Learn from today. Apply it to tomorrow.
Working on being creative in the TV world is endless. It never stops. It's a challenge that never disappears.
children kids successful
It's something I passed on to my kids. They really love the earth because they've experienced it from the youngest age. They know where food comes from - it doesn't come from the Safeway bush or the Ralph's tree. It comes from the earth. And water and sunshine and nutrients. My children understand that because they've experienced it. I feel successful as a parent, having done that.
way different different-ways
There are many different ways now to experience nature. Get out there and hike.
