There's always things that happen from time to time that put baseball into perspective for everybody, and this is certainly one of those instances,

As much as I love hockey, very rarely can I sit down and watch a game on TV from start to finish. I can do that with a baseball game, a football game. I just don't know what it is.

I like to be in a position of helping people. I find it very humbling that, simply by playing baseball, I'm in position to help so many people. I never take that for granted.

I'm not devastated over a baseball game. If somebody came to me and said, 'Your wife is terminally ill.' Or, if my kids and wife get on a plane and I got a call that said, 'Something happened with the plane,' that's devastating.
