If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

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. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.

It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.

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

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
