QUOTE : " It gives me great peace to know that no matter how good or how bad I do , the Lord loves me . That's all that really matter to me . Baseball isn't what everthing is about . It's about the way I'm being a Christian husband , a Christian father , or the way I'm living my life and trying to be a Christian testimonyto people ... I don't want my kids to remember me as a baseball player. I want them to know me as a man who loved the Lord . That's what most important . "
