My father played baseball. That's what I know to do. That's my gift. God has given me the greatest gift. And that's what I love to do.

I don't care what they say about me when I'm through with sports. I don't want to be known as anything else in life but a great father.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player.

I've always wanted to be a dad.

I want to be a dad, first and foremost. I want to be a good father. I've spent so much of my life on the move and travelling around the world that just to set up a home for my family and be a good dad is something that motivates me.

All I want to do is play baseball.

My father loved baseball and he cultivated my talent. I don't think he ever had any doubt in his mind that I would play professional baseball someday.

I love being a dad. I just love it.

There are things I want to do to be a better human being and a better father.

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am.
