My No. 1 thing is to win a World Series. The rest comes as it comes.

I can pull off a range of outfits from nice, edgy suits to more rugged, casual looks. Your look one day can be totally different than the next day, and for me, it's all about owning that.

You don't criticize or critique your teammates if they're having a hard time. You try to encourage them just like you hope that they'll encourage you.

Obviously, you're going to have your ups and your downs, but the more ups I can have and the quicker the downs are, the better I'll be.

I have no idea what it is about bowling. It's just a love I have for it. I can't even explain why. Bowling is just fun for me.

As I continue to learn, I'll continue to do different things.

I think a lot of times you start to second-guess yourself, especially as a young player, but you've got to have confidence that everything will be all right.

I want to be a great role model to let the kids, especially black kids, that it's possible to make it in this sport. I think we, as a black community, quit playing the game because we think it's a white man's sport. Or we think that since other black people don't play it, so why should I play it.

This game is obviously about failure. You're going to fail most of the time. It's how you handle it.

I just go out and do what I can to help the team win, try and be consistent in having some good at-bats and getting some timely hits and whatnot.

There wasn't a favorite team or player in the Betts household. I played baseball, day in, day out, and learned the game my own way alongside my parents - Willie and Diana.

I learned from my dad and my mom somebody should only have to tell you once. Whether it's me getting in trouble, they said I should only have to tell you once. I've kind of took that and made that for all aspects.

When you're down, are you going to be mentally down and make it last longer, or are you going to stay positive, keep an even keel?

I'm going to be someone who smiles and brings joy to the locker room and to the field.

In order to be great you have to continue to put in the work.

I'm constantly trying to become the best. That's kind of how I'm driven. Sometimes I'm not. I kind of focus on when I'm not than when I am. That's probably something I need to switch.

I've been bowling for so long, and I really, really enjoy it.

My Mom and Dad always told me to not act on emotion, act on what is real. When you're mad don't do something wrong because you're mad.
