A biography for Anthony Rendonhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't watch baseball - it's too long and boring.”
“That's the hardest part, getting out of my comfort zone and doing more in the public, for the kids or for the team. That's not the type of person I am. I'm trying to mature and work on that.”
“That's part of the game. People go through slumps.”
“If I see someone that is awesome or is an amazing player, I'm going to say he's an amazing player. If he looks like he sucks, I'm going to say, 'Hey that guy sucks!'”
“I'm trying to see, in high school or college, I've never been like, 'Rah! Rah!' kind of guy. It's always been just, 'All right.'”
“It's not easy to make the playoffs, and I think a lot of people overlook that. They think it's a piece of cake, but it's definitely not.”
“I didn't grow up in the worst neighborhood. It wasn't the best either.”
“There's more in this world than just baseball.”
“You want to have the best life for your family.”
“I'm pretty confident, I'm a confident person - at least I try to be.”
“I love the game of baseball. Like I love playing, I'm just not good at - I don't enjoy the media part of it. I don't enjoy all the different aspects that come with it, like the business side of it.”
“As long as I have the respect of my peers - the people I play against and my teammates - that's all I need.”
“You never stop learning from this game. That's the crazy thing.”
“It was hard because every kid from high school wants a chance to make the jump to the minors to see what they can do. But in the end, it wasn't difficult for me because I wanted to come to Rice. I could learn a lot more by coming here.”
“I do not want to be the center of attention. I think it's just the way I was raised; the way my parents were.”
“We have our great days and our bad days. No matter what bad day I go through or strike out four times in a row, I still want to have that great attitude and go after the game and go talk to the kids and not worry about the game and let them know that this is what matters.”
“We can't worry about the future, just try to be the best person we can today.”
“I love being on the field. I love competing. But I'm not a fan of everything that comes with it.”
“If you don't live up to somebody's standards, you get hammered.”
“Obviously, with my faith, too, I don't want to seem like it's all about me, me, me. It takes away from what I do for Him, for the Lord.”
