Once I started getting multiple days off in a row, it was a long year for me. That had never happened, and everybody knew I didn't like it.

I thought it might be a cool thing [food show] to do when I retired a few years later. Then retirement came slightly prematurely.

I play to lift a city, and raise a banner.

I saw [ that I and my father, Cecil end our careers with 319 home runs] after I retired. It was just weird. With all the games we played, neither one of us could hit one more home run? Obviously, it was supposed to go that way. It's a pretty cool thing, I guess.

It was pretty hard to actually have to say the words with my teammates, my wife and my boys there. I realized it was going to happen before that day [I announce retirement], but to have to announce it and talk about in front of a lot of people was tougher than I expected. I'm glad that feeling has kind of gone away. That sadness hasn't lingered.

Just because you're big doesn't mean you can't be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn't mean you're going to have a 12-pack.

Him [my dad] bringing me to the clubhouse when I was young helped me out because I see what they do in baseball and what it's about. He pretty much told me all this stuff when I was younger. Now it's just a matter of doing it.

Honestly, right now, I don't want to be around baseball. Not that I don't like it. But I'm having fun right here, hanging around my family and watching my kids' games.

I've always said, You make a lot of money in Major League Baseball, and it's all guaranteed, so what do you have to lose by going all out? .

When I was playing, my wife and kids would go on the road with me, and we would go to different lunch spots that we saw on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

I have a food show.It's not just baseball people. It's a mixture of baseball people, actors, musicians, chefs and whatnot. They bring out different dishes, and at the end of the show, I give the one I like the most the Fielder's choice. It's good TV.

Coming up through high school, coaches would tell me not to swing so hard. It's the only way I know. It just happens.

If I could even do that [playing] in a softball league, I would never miss anything about baseball.

We took a family trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia over Christmas and New Year's. Three weeks was a long time, but it was cool, man. We were on the ocean, so that was kind of intense. After a couple of days you realize how far out you are.

I'm still working out. It keeps me feeling good about things.

I have nothing left to prove. I've already done enough to my neck.

Obviously, I think this [162 games a year four times] caused my early retirement, but I couldn't do it any other way. Just for the record, I never asked for any of the days off in my career.

I was a guy who came to work every day. I was there. When my manager got to the field at 12, I felt like there was no reason for him to ever wonder if I was playing. For me, that's a big deal. I teach that to my kids.

I'm just living a normal life - a regular life, as people would call it. I'm enjoying it.
