Everything I learned about the game of baseball, I learned from my dad.

To my mom, I don't know how to describe my mom. She is the most wonderful person in my life. She gave me love. She took me to the ballpark when I was just a little boy running around, hanging around.

When I was a little boy, I didn't know what the Hall of Fame was. I was just playing the game of baseball, and I wanted to be just like my dad.

When I started playing the game of baseball, the more I played and the better numbers I got, the more I started thinking about the Hall of Fame. But I never thought I had a chance to be there.

A ballplayer doesn't make excuses.

I always believed no matter where you are, as long as you're doing what you love doing, you're going to be happy.

My heart is half Puerto Rican, half Canadian. That is how I feel.

John Hirschbeck is a wonderful person with a wonderful family. I'm so glad that we have become friends.

I'm proud of everything that I've accomplished since I was a little boy. That was my dream - to be a ballplayer. I didn't dream to win so many Gold Gloves, or Silver Bats or play in All-Star Games or World Series. I was just dreaming to play the game.
