There wasn't a favorite team or player in the Betts household. I played baseball, day in, day out, and learned the game my own way alongside my parents - Willie and Diana.

R.B.I.' is such a playable game. You can pick the game up and play right away without a crazy long learning curve, and that's important for the casual fan and gamer.
Quote by -Monty Don
I'm constantly trying to become the best. That's kind of how I'm driven. Sometimes I'm not. I kind of focus on when I'm not than when I am. That's probably something I need to switch.

You can put me on a plane now and I can go anywhere and just by talking having one or two conversations I can have an idea where I am in the U.S. or whatever.
Quote by -Monty Don
I learned from my dad and my mom somebody should only have to tell you once. Whether it's me getting in trouble, they said I should only have to tell you once. I've kind of took that and made that for all aspects.

You don't get to where you are by just sitting on your butt and expecting it to come.
Quote by -Monty Don
I just try to be the same guy each and every day and just do something when we're hitting or make a nice defensive play or run the bases. Just trying to be consistent in that way.

As a whole, when it comes to business in general, whether it's buying a building or contract negotiations or whatever it is, you have to take emotions out of it. That's what people forget.
Quote by -Monty Don
I'm a confident person in knowing my abilities, but also know, I'm kind of a realist, I know when I suck.

Contract things are kind of tough to come up with, especially with both sides and kind of how the economics and all those things work.

She's always been there for me through anything, I can think of many school projects I had to do and I would say, 'Mom, can you help me.' She would help me write a paper or make a poster. She's just been that kind of mom. No matter what, she makes sure I'm alright and I thank her for that.

I'm 5-foot-9, 180 pounds. I don't have much else to work with, so I just try to use my bat speed and get the most out of what I've got.

Just to be able to put on the uniform in general is a blessing, and when it says Red Sox on it, it makes it that much better.

I think people don't enjoy it as much as they used to. People say, 'Make baseball fun again.' Well, I'm trying.
Quote by -Monty Don
I think when you're stressing, or worried about your performance, worrying about this and worrying about that, that's when things start to get tough and you're not enjoying it anymore and it becomes a job. Although it is our job to play, still you have to understand that it's a game and you have to enjoy it.
Quote by -Monty Don
My personal style definitely developed over time. I thought I used to look good in a T-shirt and jeans and a decent pair of shoes. Now versatility is key for me.
Quote by -Monty Don
I want to be a great role model to let the kids, especially black kids, that it's possible to make it in this sport. I think we, as a black community, quit playing the game because we think it's a white man's sport. Or we think that since other black people don't play it, so why should I play it.
Quote by -Monty Don
This game is obviously about failure. You're going to fail most of the time. It's how you handle it.
Quote by -Monty Don
I think a lot of times you start to second-guess yourself, especially as a young player, but you've got to have confidence that everything will be all right.
Quote by -Monty Don
I just go out and do what I can to help the team win, try and be consistent in having some good at-bats and getting some timely hits and whatnot.
