I guess when you have that one monster season, it's good because you're recognized. If it weren't for that season, not as many people would know about my career. But it also kind of diminishes what I did in other years.

What cracks me up is people who think I don't take baseball seriously. It's the most important thing in my life. They don't know how hard it is for me to get a bad game out of my mind. I still can't, but I'm getting better.

When I played, I had a natural ability to jump and run, and I just wanted to get bigger and heavier.

Just like you need to strengthen your core physically with exercise, you also need to strength your core spiritually.

When you first come back from a long-term injury, you're just trying to get your body in order and trying to get back into the training and match routine.

Meditation has changed so many aspects of my health that when I don't do it, I feel awful.

Fitness is really important for my mental and emotional equilibrium as well as my physical wellbeing.
