Look, I started off batting seventh last year, so to me it was great that Willie started trusting me, moving me up a little at a time. People tell me all the time, 'You should be ticked off where you're hitting.' But I'm not, not at all.
I think a lot of people didn't think that was a strike.
Most of my friends are people I've known since I was a kid. I don't have an entourage or anything.
People only rooted for the underdog in movies, not in middle school.
A lot of people have done it for a month or, in my case, a lot of people have done it for a year and a half. But when we start doing it year after year, then you have that argument.
