“You have three teachers next to you every game, and if I’m not playing, I’m watching baseball.”

You pick up little things here and there.

That’s why I’ve gotten so much experience at my age.

Once I get comfortable and feel a part of what I’m doing.

For the most part, when my home runs come, they come in bunches.

I’ve always been a streaky hitter.

I’ve always hit.

I don’t know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.

I feel my time in baseball has come and gone. I feel like I had a great career. I had a lot of fun and have a lot of great memories. At one point in time, I’ll be able to tell it all. Right now that’s in the past. I see things differently. I more want to help.

I was a momma’s boy. I didn’t get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.

Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.

A good umpire is the umpire you don’t even notice

You can’t win them all but you can try.

If you win through bad sportsmanship that’s no real victory.

When baseball is no longer fun, it’s no longer a game.
