The seniors that year came together as a family. I think we're finally doing that now with this team.

Coach Webb told me on the bus to make my off-speed pitches work. He told me to stay in command and something big would happen.

More than anything it would be togetherness, for everybody to come together and be more of a family than we were last year.

They are all good people. If I did not believe in the family and the project 100 percent I would not have been doing this.

Most of my family are good athletes.

If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
