I attribute being a good center fielder to many things, but being outside with friends as a kid, running around and racing, that was a big part of it.
Now you have kids that say, 'I wanna be Torii Hunter one day.' Man, I love that.
To catch a ball, I'd commit suicide.
I mean, I think we are a better team than last year offensively, but there is always a question with the Minnesota Twins. We'll just have to wait and see.
Kirby played every day. You feed off of that. When you think of Kirby, you think of motivation. Im definitely going to dedicate this year to him.
It was so much fun working with these young kid actors. We had a great time and those kids are truly amazing.
For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right,
My faith is what makes me strong. Without faith, there are only low times.
I want my teammates to see that I'm following Christ. But, I'm also human, so there are times I slip and make mistakes but I know Christ forgives me.
I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.
I was raised in the church by my grandmother who made sure we went to Sunday School, read the Bible and went to church every Sunday. Every night we read Bible stories before we went to bed.
We're going to have to try to maintain and not get too far behind before we get hot. It's too early to be down.
When we came up, we were always told go the opposite field no matter what. If you didn't go the opposite field when I first came up, you weren't going to play. It was said you had to force inside pitches to right field to stay in the lineup.
Sometimes I get so pumped up, I get a headache. I get woozy. I get dizzy. I like that feeling, I don't know why.
