If you're in the minor leagues, you want to get to the majors.

I always wanted to be a major-league baseball player.

You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year... unfortunately, I had been in the majors for two years at the time.

But I want you to know that what I'm doing here I'm doing as a ballplayer, a major league ballplayer.

I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.

I had 12 years under my belt of baseball at the amateur level before I got to the big leagues.

I want to finish my career in Cleveland. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues.

I'm a baseball freak.
