I don't really watch video, but I see the replay; like when I do strike out, and I'm walking back to the dugout, I look up and see if they do show the replay of me swinging and missing.
-
Thrilling, thrilling to see yourself on a baseball card for the first time.
-
Just got to keep going out there and keep swinging. That's all I can really do. Getting work in, doing everything I can to get ready for the game.
-
I always like going to the West Coast. I don't know if it's a certain field, team, whatever it is, but I usually seem to do well here.
-
In the past, my success has come with sticking to one plan. That usually works. Obviously it's going to falter, and I'm going to go into slumps here and there, but stick with the plan, and hopefully it will come out successful more times than not.

Sometimes, you can get too big when you feel too good.
-
Just have fun, and just play hard, and just practice a lot.
-
You think about when you're kids and see these guys on TV, and now you're in the same clubhouse as Chipper Jones and Bobby Cox.
-
You got to put the personal stuff away and see the business side of it.
-
I'm going to go out there and just keep trying to get better.
-
I love coming home.
-
There are certain guys you just take from different teams that you watch.
-
They said if I could deal with the pain, I should play. So, I did, and for some reason, I started hitting. It was a weird thing. I don't know if it was because I couldn't do too much, and I was just trying to stay up through the middle and not hurt myself.
-
Enjoy and have fun when you're a kid, because you are a kid.
-
I've never been a guy that's consistently hit home runs. It's always seemed to come, like, three or four in a week or two, and then I'll shut it down for a couple of weeks.
-
I stick to what got me here and what I know best. That's the same routine. I'm not going to vary it.
-
I want to represent Canada so I can represent my mother.
-
Obviously, being a first baseman, you're kind of expected to hit some home runs. Obviously, that goes into your head; it gets into my head a little bit.
-
I have a platform to be able to do something to help other people beat cancer.
-
You've just got to keep grinding, putting good ABs together; just stop trying to look at the record, your batting average. You've got to go out there and just keep playing.
-
When you lose a mother or father, it's still the hardest time of your life.
-
I grew up an Angels fan.
-
You're going to be friends with people longer than you're going to be teammates in this game.
-
It's just so much fun to relax and just play baseball for a living. It's a great time in my life. I'm never going to forget it, and it's very humbling.
