Zitat des Tages von Jake Peavy:
I can say this: I'm not going to be some guy hanging around and trying to make every last dime in this game. I mean, I'm really going to let the game just decide it for me.
I've been a part of a couple of Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia nights, and watching the Dead's fan base be so passionate reminds me of what Jerry was so much about, making the community a better place.
I need to have people doubting me, because that's when you dig deep and find out what you're made of.
People also think Christians are very passive people, and that drives me crazy as an athlete because if you watch me play and compete, I'm the furthest thing from passive that you'll see on the baseball field. I love to compete, and I love to win.
Jesus means life to me. Jesus is our savior. When I think about Jesus, I think about the sacrifice He made so that we may have eternal life. I can certainly tell you I'm not afraid to die, and I certainly have a peace about my life.
Singing in public makes me very uncomfortable.
I remember, as a kid, my grandfather would grab my temples and say, 'You've got to focus, Jake. You've got to focus.'
Life isn't always great, but it's all about how we react to things.
To be called a Cy Young award winner is something I could have never imagined ever happening to me. I'm just always amazed at the blessings that came my way over the years.
Any city that's worth a dang certainly has a musical heartbeat, a culture, and a scene that can stand on its own.
There's not a ballpark I've ever played in as a visitor or home that has the historic feel and energy that Fenway Park has.
I love the outdoors. I love getting to hunt and fish and work on the land and ride our horses.
