Without chiropractic, I wouldn’t be able to play consistently throughout the season.
A lot of players go into a restaurant and ask for a special table. I go and stand in line with the working people. It’s very easy to get spoiled playing professional sports.
I blame myself every night we lose.
I wouldn’t mind being a hero to a kid. I grew up idolizing players, so I know how important that is for a lot of younger kids.
I hope others take as much pride in the sport as I do.
I play every game like it’s going to be my last.
The most important thing is to have fun.
In a lot of close games, I can make a difference with my speed.
You know, a lot of people say they didn’t want to die until the Red Sox won the World Series. Well, there could be a lot of busy ambulances tomorrow.
I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I’ll be here for a long time.
My biggest adjustment has been learning not to be afraid to fail.
I take pride knowing that I hustle, day in and day out.
Whenever I have a bad performance, I look at it as a learning experience.
I don’t understand some people, using biblical terms to criticize me when this is just a game.
There’s not too many teams that can succeed on and off the field together.
There’s no way I can go play for the Yankees.
I know what it takes to win ball games.
There is no excuse for not catching a ball you can get to.
I want to be the best leadoff hitter of our time.
The biggest thing I want is for the hitter coming up behind me to get a good pitch to hit.
I’m gaining weight the right way: I’m drinking beer.
