Coming up through the Minor Leagues, the Red Sox were the team that signed me and my brother. That means a lot to me and my family.

I remember playing in Japan in the Tokyo Dome. It was so packed. You could barely hear the guy next to you because all the fans were so loud.

In the off-season, you work out and look forward to February reporting day. You know you have to be ready for that specific day.

My message to a lot of guys is, if you like school and you like education, baseball is gonna be there, and you can get some of the same great competition in college that you do in the low minor leagues.

We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time.

I don't know how the 'Richie' started. My name is Richard, and they called me Dick in the minor leagues.

How many guys can say they've played in two professional leagues?

If you stop learning at any time, you start to fall down the leagues.
