We grew up poor, very poor, but I am very proud of where I come from.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

Before, if I wasn't in baseball, I wanted to become a doctor.

If you want to follow some good steps, it would Proverbs, all over.

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

Georgie Porgie, he might buy the whole league, but he doesn't have enough money to buy fear to put in my heart.

Every time I feel mad or something, I run somewhere. It gets my frustrations away. I run and run and run.

There was always something missing in Montreal.

I love my teammates, and I'll do anything for them.

The bigger the contract, the bigger the responsibility.

I believe I have a responsibility that goes along with the money I make. I can help a lot of people.

If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.

I'm not in the big leagues just because I'm cute.

Baseball is a game of the soul.

I like the challenge. I do not like the attention.

I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.

I enjoy every bit of baseball I can get.

I’m thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.

I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That’s something I don’t have in me.
