I'm being compared to the impossible. I never saw Mays, Aaron or Clemente play. What about the people I face every day? Tim Raines is the best? Mattingly is the best? Why not compare me to my peers? ”

If you're feeling pressure, then you shouldn't be here. ”

Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy. ”

Baseball is not what I love. It's my job. ”

I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element. ”

I will be a role model for cancer patients for the rest of my life. But you know what? When I was getting chemo, those people inspired me. ”

Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing. ”

I ate while I was taking chemo. The doctors didn't know. I really didn't get any nausea. I didn't have side effects. I would be drained for a day and a half. ”

Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control. ”

If you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything. I believe everything happens for a reason. If you are strong from within, you can will anything. I'm a firm believer that where there's a will, there's a way. ”
