I can't speak on anybody else's free agencies, how that's going, but for myself, it helps to kind of be patient and let it happen.
Quote by -Monty Don
Five World Series rings, 3000-plus hits, the fame, the fortune and playing for the second most historic franchise in baseball... These are just some of the reasons kids would always say they want to grow up to be just like Derek Jeter.
Quote by -Monty Don
The more Opening Days the better. It never gets old. It's one of those things where as it comes you embrace it, get ready, you still get those butterflies, which means you care.
Quote by -Monty Don
Even in the minor leagues, I just said I'll get my little bit of time in here and then get out of here. I was going to try, though. I wasn't going to just give up. I was always going to try. I'm here. I figured I might as well try.
Quote by -Monty Don
Every year you go in and you obviously want to win a World Series, at least make the playoffs.
Quote by -Monty Don
No matter what I say, people are going to have their opinions and there is nothing I can do about that.
Quote by -Monty Don
Just because you go to free agency doesn't mean you don't want to be somewhere. It's just a part of the business.
Quote by -Monty Don
Even though this is a business you do have people here that you're with every day, like your family. You want to go play for them and you want to win with them. You have to find a way to do that but understand that there is a business side to it. You have to find a way to understand.
Quote by -Monty Don
It's kind of tough as you're playing you kind of wonder what is going to happen to you as you go through arbitration or as you go through free agency.
Quote by -Monty Don
Some people kind of get lost in what everyone else is doing and not pay attention to themselves, and I think I'm one where I pay attention to myself and can set the example for the people coming up.
Quote by -Monty Don
I'm confident in my abilities and confident to know what kind of player I am. I've also been educated on the business side of it, getting your value.
Quote by -Monty Don
I'm just trying to affect the game in some way whenever I get an opportunity. If that's stealing a base, making a catch, beating out a double play, whatever it may be.
Quote by -Monty Don
I think my senior year in high school was when I started wearing Jordans. It was our team rule that we had to play in them so that's when I got - not introduced to them, but got into it. Through the minors I started collecting some, just to wear, and that's when I told myself I want to become a Jordan athlete and did all I could to do it.
Quote by -Monty Don
Everything I played, I kind of found a way to be pretty good at. My mom always said, 'If you're not good at something, then don't do it.'
Quote by -Monty Don
I guess bowling is pretty mechanical. It's kind of a natural motion, but you have to stick within those mechanics.
Quote by -Monty Don
I'm not a big country guy even though I'm from Nashville. I like some songs, but I wouldn't turn on a country radio station or anything.
Quote by -Monty Don
You never want to lose a strength, but I've also got to try and be a complete hitter.
Quote by -Monty Don
The pitcher is in trouble, not me. He has to throw it over the plate and I have to put a good swing on it.
Quote by -Monty Don
I think I've tried to have a platform to speak and to help kids understand learning about baseball.
Quote by -Monty Don
I'm playing for the Red Sox, and I don't think there's anybody out here who's going to intentionally hurt you. So you listen to information, and you kind of filter what you like and take out what you don't.
Quote by -Monty Don
You weigh your pros and cons and what's real. You want to play baseball? Yeah. You want to go to school? If that's the best option, than that is what it is.
Quote by -Monty Don
You have to have sound mechanics to repeat the same delivery each time. That's the hard part. Since I don't bowl all the time I'm not consistent with my mechanics.
