QUOTE : " If you're a baseball player---if that's what you do for a living , off the field a lot of times you are linked to what you do on the field . If I didn't have a relationship with Jesus Christ , it would be extremely difficult for me to handle the ups and downs of the season. when you're not performong well, from a mental stanpoint it's very easy to fall into a rut and get down on yourself . It's easy not to express the joy that we're supposed to have . But having that relationship with Christ really helps to even things out . "
