For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right.
I mean, I think we are a better team than last year offensively, but there is always a question with the Minnesota Twins. We'll just have to wait and see.
What's the use of saying we're better at baseball than this country? We all play together. I'm playing with Venezuelans and Dominicans right now. We all play together, so what's up with saying our country is better than your country? It's stupid. I don't like it.
I was raised in the church by my grandmother who made sure we went to Sunday School, read the Bible and went to church every Sunday. Every night we read Bible stories before we went to bed.
My mother made sure we stayed involved in the church and the things of God. My relationship with Christ came about through that and the influences of my mother and grandmother helped my faith to grow.
I always think about what would Christ do in any circumstances.
I want my teammates to see that I'm following Christ. But, I'm also human, so there are times I slip and make mistakes but I know Christ forgives me.
I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.
Now you have kids that say, 'I wanna be Torii Hunter one day.' Man, I love that.
When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
