Coming up through high school, coaches would tell me not to swing so hard. It’s the only way I know. It just happens.
I play to lift a city, and raise a banner.
If there’s a man on second, I’m trying to get him in with a base hit. The doubles and homers will come. Sooner or later they’ll go out naturally. I’m just trying not to do too much.
You’ve got to have some fun before games or you make the season too long. We don’t start work until seven o’clock. If you’re game-ready at three, it’s not good for you. This is the only way I know how to do it.
Miguel and Justin, the two biggest guys on the team, welcomed me right away and once the cool kids in school like you, it’s easy to get along.
Just because you’re big doesn’t mean you can’t be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn’t mean you’re going to have a 12-pack.
