How has playing baseball made you a better person? It makes me more patient. One time I was going to get the ball and another player ran in front of me and they missed it. The other team scored a run and we lost. It taught me to have patience for my other players. I was really mad at first and then I used patience. I never did that before.

What is the most challenging part about playing baseball? Catching fly balls. Because if you try to catch it you drop it. It gets into your glove and then you can drop it. I love to run and dive for the balls.

What is the best thing a coach has either ever told you or said about you? My Cubs coach said that I was the best outfielder on the team.

What other information would you like to share about yourself? I can crochet. My favorite car is a Lamborghini.My favorite basketball team is the Jazz.

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games.  No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games.  It's the other third that makes the difference.  ~Tommy Lasorda
