legacy manner uphold
I'm going to try to uphold Jackie's legacy and play in a manner that would make him proud.
blessed accomplish
I'm truly blessed to be where I am and accomplish what I have.
baseball school years
I didn't go to school three years for nothing. It was something that was understood. Even though I went to play baseball, one day I would come back and get my degree.
people done shame
I know people are going to be suspicious about everyone now. I know I don't have anything to hide. I've never done anything. It's just a shame it's gotten to this point.
flower years pda
Anybody can be Prince Charming one day a year, with the dinner and the flowers and all that. But you know what impresses me? When a guy can do that NO days a year.
fun goal relax
The main thing right now is just going out and having fun. I know what I want to do. If I go out and have fun and relax, then all my goals should come true.
hard-work way recognition
Sometimes, you're going to have to work hard, sometimes extra hard, and sometimes you still won't get that recognition. That's life. That's the way it is. But if you keep working, eventually you'll get the prize you're seeking.
play parent care
If I just go out and play, the rest will take care of itself. That's what my parents taught me. They haven't been wrong yet.
ask goes shot whatever
Whatever they ask me to do, you give it a shot and see what goes on.
ask question
If we make the playoffs, you can ask me that question again.
good trying
Not really. You're trying to do the same thing (Pat Burrell) did. You're just trying to go up there and have a good (at-bat) and get your pitch.
best coming extra pressure trying
I'm just going to go out and play the best I can and not put any extra pressure on myself. My mind-set is the same. I'm just coming in and trying to get ready.
best face guys matter next pitchers remember seeing worried
I'm not worried about it. Because I know there'll be other times for me to face him. He's one of the best pitchers in the league, but you want to face guys like that. It's just a matter of seeing what he's got. You're going to remember it the next time.
guy haul knew knowing oblivious sort step trying
I was just sort of oblivious to what was going on. When Thome had surgery, I knew I'm the guy for the long haul and am trying to step it up. Knowing you're going to be in there every day is a big thing.
