Baseball Is Not What I Love. It's

I Don't Listen To What People Say About Me And I Don't Read What They Write About Me. People Can Compare Me To Anyone They Want To, But I'm Not Going To Worry About It.

Circulating Through The Children's Ward And Seeing Terminally Ill Kids, Heads Shaved, Smiling And Having A Ball Despite The Tubes And Needles Sticking Into Them, I Thought: What Do I Have To Worry About? If God Takes Me, At Least I've Lived For 35 Years.

I Have Figured Out It's Not What You Do On The Field, It's How Many Games You Play In.

People Spend Time Worrying About Things They Think They Have To Have And Lose Perception Of What They Do Have. You Can Have All The Money And Material Things You Want. If You Aren't Here To Enjoy Them, What Good Do They Do?

For Me To Become The Highest Paid Player In The Franchise, It Was Something I Didn't Anticipate. But I'm Glad. I Like Playing For Cincinnati.
