Billy Mueller's my favorite ballplayer. I keep telling my son every time he watches the game to watch this guy. He's a guy who earns every bit of his success out on the baseball field the way he approaches the game, the way he plays, switch-hitting. That's the kind of ballplayer I want my son to be.
