I'm going to put his jersey in there and leave it in there. He's somebody who inspired me to play the game of baseball. This guy pushed me to get to the major leagues. 'I want you to come to take my spot, OK, Little Puck.' He called me Little Puck.
I'm going to go out and play this game of baseball, the game that he loved, the game that I love. So I'm going to go out here and play and try to get my mind off of it because that's what he would want me to do.
My favorite book in the Bible is always Proverbs because it's where you can find wisdom for no matter what you're going through. It hits me every time I read it. I've always read Proverbs regularly because it helps me deal with what's happening every day in real life.
My mother made sure we stayed involved in the church and the things of God. My relationship with Christ came about through that and the influences of my mother and grandmother helped my faith to grow.
I always think about what would Christ do in any circumstances.
My faith is what makes me strong. Without faith, there are only low times.
With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.
When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.
It was so much fun working with these young kid actors. We had a great time and those kids are truly amazing.
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.
For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right,
What's the use of saying we're better at baseball than this country? We all play together. I'm playing with Venezuelans and Dominicans right now. We all play together, so what's up with saying our country is better than your country? It's stupid. I don't like it.
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.
