I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.

I can't even explain how blessed I am and how fortunate that I have such a great team that believes in me.

I've been so fortunate in life to have worked for such great organizations, with great owners and general managers and all the great players, along with the support of my family.

I've been very happy with all the teams I've played for. They all treated me very well.

I was also very lucky to be a teammate of two of the greatest players to have ever played the game. I learned very early on by playing for Frank Robinson and with Henry Aaron that even the greatest players in the game were just one of the guys.

I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.

I've been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I've played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

I had a wonderful life and was blessed with so many loving people and great friends.

I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.

There's not too many guys that spend their whole career with one team and I think it's very fortunate and a blessing for me.
