My dad hit 152 home runs and that's the person I wanted to be like. My hero growing up.

A franchise player, to me, is a guy like Kirby Puckett, Cal Ripken, a guy who's been in one organization through their entire career.

I don't think it's the intent of baseball not to have black ballplayers, but we have to find a way to get these kids back. We lost them to football. We lost them to basketball. We lost them to golf. People don't see how cool and exciting this game is.

I didn't start playing golf until '94, when the strike cut the season short. Never having played as a kid definitely makes it a challenge.

The Internet will save higher education, but it may kill your alma mater.

I believe Facebook is going all the way. They're going to reach a billion members and will be the biggest company in the world. It will be a platform everyone goes on the Internet through.

I've always been a pretty good athlete.

I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.
