The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.
-
I am human, when people write bad stuff about me it bothers me, but I know that will never end.
-
Some of the most racist things that I've ever heard come out of people that are on the air at ESPN. There are some of the biggest racists in sports commentating, and you take it for what it is.
-
I would like to be one of the people responsible for getting Elizabeth Warren out of politics. She's a nightmare. The Left's holding her up as the second coming of Hillary Clinton; Lord knows we don't need the first.
-
I was always an MMO fan. I'm playing 'World of Warcraft' in the clubhouse, and J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp saw me playing. They came over and got interested, and they wound up creating accounts.
-
War is by no means something glamorous, and I don't think that should ever be forgotten.
-
In my 20 years of baseball, I've been misquoted three or four times, and for someone who talks as much as I do, that's incredible.
-
Have I said dumb things? Absolutely, who hasn't? But I have never backed away from being called out on something I did or said wrong.
-
I was raised to understand and know the difference between right and wrong.
-
I don't vote party lines. Never have. I vote for the best candidate.
-
I think I've earned a certain level of respect, based on my accomplishments and my consistency.
-
So every dollar of income that I have that is potentially taxed away is a dollar I can't put in my company to create a job. My entire company is around job creation.
-
Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.
-
I don't miss anything I did for a living.
-
In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.
-
I've had teammates I didn't get along with, who hasn't? I've never had a teammate call me a bad guy, while he was my teammate, and if he did when I was gone what kind of teammate was he anyway?
-
I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
-
Just hear Senator McCain speak. He may not give you the answer you are looking for, he may not be in agreement with you on a stance or an issue, but the man is honest to a fault.
-
It is all about rehab. Most doctors can make you 100 percent well physically. I would tell you that it is 25 percent about the surgery and 75 percent about the rehab.
-
I had three jobs my junior and senior year of high school. I worked for the gas station and worked for a pizza place.
-
I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'
-
The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game, or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.
-
One thing I was told early in my career is when you walk out on the field, the name on the back of your jersey is not yours - it's your dad's. I've carried that with me forever as something - I've worked harder and learned more about my father since he passed than when he was alive, because when he was alive, I was young, and I knew everything.

I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.
