Francisco Lindor

I'm not scared to wear different colors, and match the crazy color with the color that you never thought you were going to wear.

Every time I look at myself in the mirror, I'm like, 'My hair is boring. I got to change it.'

To see other players wearing my cleats, it's really cool and in a way makes me feel humble about it because I created something for not just shortstops, but for catchers, for outfielders, for pitchers, and to see outfielders pitchers, catchers infielders wearing it is amazing. It's really special.

I eventually want to get to a place where New Balance is being worn in many different places throughout the day.

I'm a person that likes to innovate, that continues to grow and not just stay in one area.

What made me initially sign with New Balance? I just saw what was coming. I saw what the brand was all about - they're into family. Everything about them is family oriented, and that's who I am.

If a person sees me wrong because I have a $3 million home, that's their fault. I'm still the same person.

I love making great plays. I love that.

I love the fans screaming whether they are against you or for you.

I have a lot of thoughts that I write down throughout the year, and I use them to create my approach for my goals in the year to come.

I'm a big believer that God gave me the ability to have talent, but I have worked hard on my craft. Am I going to be perfect? No, but I strive to be.

Luxury is the ability to get yourself things that bring you joy, and for me, joy can be found in getting a nice stroller for my daughter, watching a nice TV when I'm sitting by myself on the couch, having a personal chef.

I have been educated my whole entire life, whether it's through my parents, through my coaches, through my agent, through teachers, through a lot of people.

In social studies, we talked about Clemente. In health class, we talked about Clemente. In our house, we talked about Clemente. In baseball, every field you went to, Clemente's number was somewhere.

I always was a happy kid, but I didn't want to smile in pictures. I was always a little serious because of my teeth, ever since I got my braces. Then my teeth became good because they were aligned. I couldn't stop smiling.

My family is everything to me. I talk with someone in my family every day.

I started playing baseball at age 4 because my family has always played baseball and I always wanted be like my brother and my cousin.

Well, $341 million is a lot. It's a lot. So, whenever you sign something like that, you're expected to play at a level that only superhumans can play.

I love watching other athletes perform at the highest level. Maybe I don't understand the sport or what it takes to be successful in the sport, but I love to study how they go about it.

Before my family - my wife and my daughter - baseball was probably 85 percent of my life.
