Baseball is my job, and I love it, but it can't be the only thing I've got going on.

Again, like I said, I went out to play the game of baseball because I love to play it. I did it right. I did it the right way. I worked hard doing it.

There's not much you can complain about - you're a Major League Baseball player; you're getting paid to play a game. People want to be you, wish they could do what you do. There are some complaints here and there, but there really aren't any significant ones.

I love what I do. I'm appreciative and I'm still competitive. I still love baseball, but it doesn't consume me. If I can't do it anymore, then I go home and do something else. It's not the end of the world. It's just the end of your career.

I played baseball because I could make more money doing that than I could doing anything else.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

Baseball is just my job.

All I want to do is play baseball.
