Carlos Beltran Quotations

My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.

Major League Baseball should retire Roberto Clemente's number, just like they did Jackie Robinson's.

It's going to be crazy. I'm guessing when we play against the Dominicans, half the field will be Dominican fans and half will be Puerto Rican fans. With all the big-time players in the World Classic, it's going to be huge.

I play because I know I can play the game, so it's their decision whether or not they want to keep me or they wanna trade me. Whatever decision they make, I will understand it.

I know there are a lot of expectations of me, and I will do the best I can.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

I think I can play in the big leagues 10 or 15 years. But more important to me is winning-win, make the playoffs.

I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

I was always thinking, 'One day I want to be like Bernie Williams.'

I can't change something that I've been all my life. But I can work to express myself and talk more.
