When I left Tampa Bay, I felt like if my career ended at that point, I'd be okay.

I felt like in Tampa Bay a lot of people thought we were overachieving.

One-hundred years from now, nobody's going to remember that I played for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays - nobody!

Wiffle ball was my first experience hitting left-handed.

My dad used to do it when we were little, and I tried it when we played around in the back yard. Eventually, I got a bat and a real ball and played around to see if I could hit left-handed.

I still have a lot to learn about what the love of Christ is like - that it's not just knowledge... but it's allowing the truth to change you - allowing Christ's message of grace and hope and love through the cross, that that message is the message that changes the way we look at everything in our lives.
