I have a natural tendency to resist conformity.
I didn't cost the Series. I cost a game in the regular season.
Everyone has someone they looked up to. Mine was Mickey Mantle. For Alex Rodriguez to idolize me coming up, that makes me feel very good.
In New York, I have a photo of my parents on their wedding day in 1947. They're beaming at home plate in Houston's Buffalo Stadium. I love the photo because my dad is smiling. He didn't smile much in his later years.
I had great moments. I had not-great moments.
I always got good grades in creative writing from elementary school on up.
