All it takes to play baseball is a strong arm, good speed, and the coordination to hit the ball. That's it.

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am.

We do have a problem in baseball, and using steroids is not respecting the game.

I was a baseball player at North Central High School in Spokane, Washington even though I was all-city in basketball, even when I signed a letter of intent to play quarterback at Washington State.

Every time I look at that flag flying, I'll think of the Cubs fans that were there for me every day. You have never let me down, and for that I will never forget you.

All I want to do is play baseball.
