I Don't Care If People

I Don't Care If People Like Me Or Not. Respect Is More Important.

Like I Say, It's Almost Embarrassing To Talk About. I Don't Know If Michael Jordan Or Bill Gates Or Alexander The Great Or Anyone Is Worth This Type Of Money, But That's The Market We're In Today.

I Truly Believe My Job Starts The Minute I Leave The Baseball Field. Going Out And Catching Ground Balls And Hitting, That's A Job, And That's What I've Wanted To Do Ever Since I Was A Kid.

You Have To Stay On A Narrow Path.
