I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning.

I would never want to be selected to a team just because I am going to set a record. It's critical to me to earn my way.

I never played for records. If I had played for records, then I would have had many more runs against my name. If, by your performance, the team wins, then that is what is most gratifying.

If you're successful in what you do over a period of time, you'll start approaching records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged.

We've gotten through a lot of tough times, and we're going to keep working to make them better. I wish the record was better.

It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.

You know over 20 years I played for a number of managers and dozens of coaches. I don't know any of them that I didn't learn something from to help make me a better player.

Sometimes they are big hurdles, but good players can overcome them. I am trying to do my best.

I hope I'm building a record of being a good team player and not just standing for my principles but being willing to work for them. I think when you do that and you work really hard, people take notice.

To be better than 31 other teams, you better be a really good team. It's just not about one person.
