I want to thank all my fans teammates coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much.

As long as I have the support and respect of my teammates that's all I can ask for.

When you have that respect from your teammates it makes it a lot more comfortable.

I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

And so I look at it as a relationship that I have with him that I want to give him the honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity. And then right after I give him the honor and glory I always try to give my teammates the honor and glory. And that's how it works because Christ comes first in my life and then my family and then my teammates.

The things I was allowed to experience the people I was able to call friends teammates mentors coaches and opponents the travel all of it are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.

I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well I guess all my dreams didn't come true.

I hear good things about Xbox Live from some of my younger teammates. I think it would be fun to be able to challenge fans all over the world. It would be cool to be able to play some of my friends back home in the States. I'm looking forward to trying it.

The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.

To all the positions I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish I think that transfers to the other players.
