I had a great time with baseball growing up. I was lucky to grow up with it and to learn.

To me, baseball has always been a reflection of life. Like life, it adjusts. It survives everything.

Baseball is a team game but, at the same time, it's a very lonely game: unlike in soccer or basketball, where players roam around, in baseball everyone has their little plot of the field to tend. When the action comes to you, the spotlight is on you but no one can help you.

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.

I enjoy baseball more than anything and would like to be involved with it forever, but the reality is your survival is determined by how well you compete, not by your fondness for the game.

Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field.

I played baseball growing up, second base, and then when I got to high school,it just didn't exist there.

I love baseball. The game allowed me the influence to impact kids in a positive way. This gives me a chance to talk to some social issues.

Like a lot of kids, you kind of think baseball's boring - that's the perception.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.
