Christ always had a passion for whatever He was doing. That's how I try to define myself as an athlete. That's the example I try to follow.
I'm older, and I'm better. I'm not old, but I'm older and wiser.
Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.
I ate the Green Monster. It tasted pretty nasty. It was pretty painful.
When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.
When I see that little white ball go up, I want to catch it, no matter what. If I have to knock myself silly doing it, so be it.
I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I'd sacrifice my body if I have to. I've done that my whole career.
I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.
You name it, I've got it. Some players have to be 100 percent (to play), but I don't.
People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors,
I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood I'm on you .. and I'm about to taste blood.
I love the Twins, ... I bleed the Twins. That's all I know. If I go anywhere else, I'd be a foreigner.
I just didn't have no edge for baseball. Once special coach Tony Oliva and former Twins coach Al Newman told me what happened, I couldn't function.
