Miguel Cabrera

“When you see a guy play hard, it's kind of like you want to follow him.”

“I learned so much from my mistakes.”

“I focus on what I can do in this game. I don't have speed. I'm not a guy who can have a stolen base. I wish I could, but I can't.”

“I just try to find ways to help my team win.”

“Got to play, man. Got to play hard.”

“I'm taking my time. I feel much more confident, and every day I feel like I'm getting better.”

“People don't realize a lot of things about me. A lot of things, they don't know.”

“I'm the kind of guy who, if I look inside and they throw me a fastball outside, and it's a strike, I'm going to swing. Everything in the strike zone, I'm going to swing. Doesn't matter if it's a fastball, changeup, breaking ball. If it's in the strike zone and it's something you like, you've got to swing.”

“Every day, you got to do adjustments. Every pitch. You got to do what it takes.”

“The Triple Crown, or any of that stuff, is not my focus. My focus is on winning. I just hope people can be happy with that.”

“I want to play with my heart.”

“I am comfortable talking about everything because I think you can't hide it. I can't hide what I'm doing. I can't lie to people when they see something.”

“I'm not mad when people talk bad about me; that's the way it is.”

“When you're not doing good, the world's going to be against you.”

“You have to respectfully listen to advice.”

“If a pitcher makes a mistake inside, I'm going to hit it.”

“I feel like the same person, but I feel as if I need to work twice as much now.”

“I want to do everything I can to play baseball.”

“God blessed me with this talent, so why would I not want to not play? I want to play every single game.”

“I love this game. I love to have fun. You're playing a sport that you've loved since you were a kid, you get paid for it, and even if you're 0-for-20 or 0-for-30, you still have fun.”
