"Besides God, the key for me has been learning consistency. You have to be consistent as a hitter and consistent and disciplined in your preparation to be successful in this game. I wasn't always that way. Respecting the game was an important lesson for me, and the more you play this game, the more you respect it. You appreciate what the game means." - Fernando Tatis in The Washington Post (07/26/2009, 'WHEN IT CLICKED FERNANDO TATIS')
