You're going to fail. It's how you respond to that failure that kind of defines you as a person, as an athlete.
You get caught up in hitting home runs and seeing how far you can hit them, and your swing changes.
My dad was a designer for Upper Deck, and I had hundreds of Ken Griffey Jr. Cards. Hundreds. I could have paid for college with them.
If I'm going to wind up playing left, I want to be the best left fielder in the game. I'll work to be that.
If I could go the ballpark and play the game for three hours and then go home? It would be awesome. But that's not the case.
I think hitting's just repetition. The more you hit, the better you're gonna get.
I never lose confidence. As soon as you lose confidence, you're done.
