As a kid, I had this ultimate goal to be a teacher. I wanted to be a history teacher like my dad.

I'm not really a big Springsteen guy. I'll listen to the music, but ... I didn't really get attached to it as much as, like, country artists. That's really who I listen to.

I used to get made fun of in the minor leagues. I'd be 0 for 2, and then in my last at-bat I'd hit a chopper that wouldn't even reach the shortstop, and I'd get a hit out of it. The guys would be all over me, but a hit's a hit. I'll take 3,000 of 'em.

When we get in late and the only thing open is fast food, it can be tough to maintain a healthy diet.

As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.
