Its a game, and that’s how I am going to treat it.

The Hall of Fame is pretty good at preparation and getting you ready for what to expect.

It doesn't matter how much money you make; it's where you feel happy.

Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

As long as I have fun playing, the stats will take care of themselves.

You lose, you smile, and you come back the next day. You win, you smile, you come back the next day.

To succeed in baseball, as in life, you must make adjustments.
