For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me.

I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.

Image
Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.

Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.

During the offseason, I go to the movies almost every day. You hear about women buying shoes? I buy DVDs. I definitely have a problem.
