It was a blast growing up in a house where you have motivating parents, and my mom would always challenge me no matter what it was.

My dad, since I was growing up, has always taught me that I need to keep my mouth shut and just play baseball.

It's incredible to be able to make an impact and use the platform that we have in the right way.

Guys want to go out here and get the job done. Guys want to fight. We're going to fight and grind every single pitch and try and do anything we can to help win games.

That's what makes baseball the best. Nothing matters but winning.

There are a lot of things I want to accomplish in this game. Winning is right there at the top.

When we were playing chess in the house, she would never let me win until I was good enough to beat her. It was always a competition. She was also always there for me. She was a very caring, loving mom, and the sacrifices she made to allow me to get to where I am today, I'll be forever in debt.

I just want to be treated fairly for my performance.

That's what the game is all about. It's winning.

When you taste winning the World Series, you want to do that every year.

Winning is the only thing that drives all of us.

You grow up dreaming about playing in the World Series since you're a little kid. I remember the days in the back yard with my parents playing whiffle ball, saying, 'Hey, it's Game 7 of the World Series, are you gonna win or are you gonna lose?'
