All I've done is work hard to get better and better every single year to become the best catcher I can be.

For me, it's about finding ways. Obviously I'm not a great hitter, but I'm going to try and beat you anyway I can. I think about that in every aspect of the game. Running? I'm not the fastest runner, but I can steal a base. For me it's about taking advantage of what I can.

I would love to win a batting title. That would be amazing. Can I do it? Yes, I can. No doubt.

My family taught me about that, about being the leader, being there for your teammates and caring about everything during the game, after the game, before the game.

Obviously 1,500 is a lot of hits, but I've got to keep going.

It's always good to have someone help you out with good advice - especially when he's your brother and taught you how to play the game.

St. Louis is home, so if anybody has anything bad to say about my home I'm going to be there for us.

Winning the game is the single most important thing. If you go 0-for-4, but you catch a shutout or a one-run game, and your pitcher goes seven, eight innings, and the closer closes out the game, that's the ultimate satisfaction for a catcher. Much more than going 4-for-4 and losing.

Just seeing my name on the ballot as a top three finalist for the Most Valuable Player title in the National League brings me great satisfaction because this accolade means a lot.

I think that, because of the way I catch, that I'm one of the best catchers to have ever played baseball.

You always put some goal in your mind and you try to reach it. If you don't reach it, that's fine because you at least had something to look forward to.

That mentality that I have every year - that I have to prove myself to everyone that I'm a good player - that's the thing that keeps me going. That's my motivation.
