There's three things that as a professional athlete you want. You want to get to the big leagues, and I accomplished that. Winning a World Series ring, I got that. And then getting to the Hall of Fame. That's everybody's dream. Every athlete, they want to be up there in the Hall of Fame, mentioned with the greatest players to ever play this game.

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.

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

I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic.

I don't want to be too stiff, because then my hands won't be as quick.

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

At the end of the day, when all is said and done playing this game ... it doesn't matter what you did in the field, it's what you do off the field and the lives that you touch off the field.

There is no time to fool around when you practice. Every drill must have a purpose. I try to never get away from thathabits are important
