“The only problem – once baseball season starts, I change the order around a bit.”

There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball.

I think my mom and dad did a great job with that, because we [with brother] never had any competition in baseball. We always tried to help each other.

I’ve played everything – baseball, football, basketball. I can still swim a mile a day. That’s why I can’t walk.

I was planning to be a baseball player until I ran into something called a curveball. And that set me back.

I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.

I did not vote Labour because they’ve heard of Oasis and nobody is going to vote Tory because William Hague has got a baseball cap.

I wasn’t ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.

I’m not like a 90-mph fastball kind of guy, but I can hit 70 on radar gun.

I’d never even been to Wrigley Field. I never even enjoyed baseball that much, but I loved being there, the crowd was lovely, and they all sang with me!
