A lot of people said I could be a good player. I just wanted the opportunity to show it. I just let it happen.

I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes for me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game.

I hope by the time that I'm done in this game, I can have half the numbers Stan Musial had in his career.

To me playing third base and left field and moving all over the place, it doesn't bother me because I still have to grab that bat and hit no matter where I play.

Image
I'm a really smart player. If you tell me something, I get it quickly. If there is something wrong with my hitting, tell me what's wrong and I'll pick it up right away. That's the best thing I have going for me, my ability to listen to a coach and fix what I'm doing wrong.

I'm going to be prayerful about it. Whatever decision I make hopefully is the best decision I can make for my family and the fans and everybody.

Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.

What motivates me more than money are God and my family.

People ask me if I believe how quickly my career has taken off. I just tell them that Jesus Christ is my strength. God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. That is more important than anything I could ever do in baseball.

I thought about it a lot (losing the 2002 NLCS). It's something you have to go home and wrap it up because if you keep thinking about it, you're going to take that to Spring Training and you're not going to be able to concentrate on your work.

I try to spend as much time as possible with God and my family. That's more important than anything I'm doing in baseball.

What I lose today I can't make up tomorrow. I have to do it today.

I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.

It doesn't matter if I hit a home run. It doesn't matter if we win a game. It doesn't matter if I go four for four. Whatever happens at the end of the day, as long as I glorify His name, that's what it's all about.

I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time.

Every year it gets tougher and tougher. Mentally and physically. That's why you need to train and prepare.

It doesn't matter the numbers, it doesn't matter the records, it doesn't matter the money that you make. What matters is to raise that trophy and to be able to bring that smile to the city of St. Louis.

I have five young children, and I take being a role model very seriously.

Baseball is simply my platform to elevate Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
