When you leave your country, it's hard to leave your family over there. My whole family is in Venezuela.
Doesn't matter what people say, doesn't matter what they are going to say about you. You gotta go out there and play your game.
I'm taking my time. I feel much more confident, and every day I feel like I'm getting better.
I don't want to just be the best player. I want to be a great person, too.
If a pitcher makes a mistake inside, I'm going to hit it.
I want to play with my heart.
How are you gonna score if somebody doesn't drive in the runs?
I always like to play. I cannot sit down and see what's going to happen, because it's boring.
I don't worry about my age. God gave me strength and the ability to keep playing.
If you do something every day a little, the end is going to be big.
Days off always help. Even if people don't like it when they give you a day off, you've got to take a day off because sometimes you've got to clear your mind.
We want to win a World Series for Detroit. That's our goal.
The Triple Crown, or any of that stuff, is not my focus. My focus is on winning. I just hope people can be happy with that.
We have the great fans in Detroit. We've got a great ballpark, great stadium.
God blessed me with this talent, so why would I not want to not play? I want to play every single game.
I feel like the same person, but I feel as if I need to work twice as much now.
I think sports can bring a lot of happiness to people.
Detroit is part of my family and part of my life, my home.
I'm just trying to play my best and have fun.
If you go to a game nervous, you make a mistake.
