Notable guest quotes:
“Grew up raised Catholic, both grandparents were raised Catholic, so very, I would say, a very strong Catholic family and kind of extended family as well.”
“I had a Catholic education all the way up to eighth grade.”
“I think baseball was my calling and was happy with the time that I had playing basketball but happy that baseball was there too.”
“(Creighton University) being a Jesuit institution and the high values that they hold for not just the athletes but all the students that go there and then the academics were something very, very important to me.”
“When you first move away from your parents… you kind of get sidetracked a little bit just trying to… find out who you are and trying to figure out who you’re going to be as both a person and athlete and also a man of faith.”
“Prayer and praying the rosary has always been a big deal to both me and my wife and our family and praying the rosary and having a process and a prayer life to fall back on is huge and understanding that I’m way more than just a baseball player.”
“I didn’t really have any sort of help either negotiating or how the whole thing went down because I was flying in an airplane, so I didn’t have any Wi-Fi or reception obviously so another thing, yeah, put it in God’s hands and let Him create the plan.”
“My support system with my wife and my family and my faith definitely help me carry through (adversity).”
“That’s why you have faith in God and then also have faith in your support system that no matter what happens that you’re more than a baseball player, you’re more than somebody that tries to hit a baseball, and you’re important in other people’s lives as well.”
“Whatever God is wanting to talk to me about in that silence before I take the field or listen to my music, try to take a little bit of time to let Him talk to me before then.”
“I feel like something God calls us to do is use our gifts, use our platform, which happens to be baseball for me, and to shed the light and share your faith.”
