I'm not the type of player to sit home and practice scales and work on runs.

Van Halen would be awesome -- I'd just love to sit and hang with Ed [Van Halen].

I'm thrilled I have the opportunity to do the 'Spread' show and have the terrific sponsors that we work with like Nikon or Verizon.

We?re looking OK after a few weeks of practice. We?re certainly a work in progress.

The key to hitting a lot of home runs as a player at Kauffman Stadium is that you'd better run into some on the road.

Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
