I love comedy, but it has to be hysterical and really amusing; I'm not really a big fan of romantic comedies, in fact I can't stand them. I'm really more of a fan of 'Team America' and 'Dodgeball.'

I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway, so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.

I felt unhappy and trapped. If I left baseball, where could I go, what could I do to earn enough money to help my mother and to marry Rachel? The solution to my problem was only days away in the hands of a tough, shrewd, courageous man called Branch Rickey, the president of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

For good or ill, I'm a person of leadership. I do my best. I don't dodge responsibility.

Brooklyn was a famous team. I wanted to play for the Dodgers.

I was the kind of reader in smudged pink harlequin glasses sitting on the cool, dusty floor of the Arrandale public library, standing at the edge of the playground, having broken a tooth in dodge ball, and lying under my covers with a flashlight.

If you don't love the Dodgers, there's a good chance you may not get into Heaven.

The Dodge Charger in the late '70s at Daytona, that looked like an awesome car.

I have a blue 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT, the first car I ever bought. I didn't want it to just be a regular Challenger. I wanted it to be different. So I sent it out to Richard Petty's garage in North Carolina, completely tricked it out - a one-of-a-kind built for me and we changed the name of it from 'Challenger' to 'Champion.'

Logic is neither a science nor an art, but a dodge.

I grew up a Detroit Tigers fan, and now to be an owner of the Dodgers is amazing.

She's not here," I tell him. Buttercup hisses again. "She's not here. You can hiss all you like. You won't find Prim." At her name, he perks up. Raises his flattened ears. Begins to meow hopefully. "Get out!" He dodges the pillow I throw at him. "Go away! There's nothing left for you here!" I start to shake, furious with him. "She's not coming back! She's never ever coming back here again!" I grab another pillow and get to my feet to improve my aim. Out of nowhere, the tears begin to pour down my cheeks. "She's dead, you stupid cat. She's dead.

Dodge, be honest. It's not close to over. You've been nursing this wound for nearly ten years, working it off over there in Afghanistan, trying to forget the girl you've loved since you were ten. There's no way this is over. There is so much bitterness sitting in your heart you can't even see it. But maybe that's why God brought you back - for her. And to set you free from all that darkness.

I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

You can't dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience though. Sometimes it hurts like hell.

But I am delighted to be a Dodger I grew up a Dodger fan and now my dreams have really come true.

I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car.

Logic is neither an art nor a science but a dodge.
