I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.
My mom raised me.
If you ask my dad, I'm always the person that found the little bird out of the nest and is trying to put it back or take care of it.
I think you have to be a father to understand those feelings… that happiness of being a father.
Come hither, my dear. Come hither, that I mightest protectest thou!
My mother was a very wise and strong person.
Everyone says that when you have kids, you become crazy.
Biggest influence: my mother.
My dad took a lot of pride in what he did for a living.
Ownership, that's what you give your kids. That's your legacy.
For me, my mother is everything.
We looked up to our father. He still is much greater than us.
Hiring someone to look after your children is about the most important thing you will ever do in your life.
