"I love the 3 of them and the Padres are very lucky to have them. I will always live in SD as I just recently got married to my wife Cindy and have 2 girls Jaden(10) and Kendall(7). So, hopefully I can settle down and who knows, I tend to always want to come back and get into that uniform! I would love to someday be able to either help the Padre organization on the field, in the front office or hopefully on TV or Radio. It is a class organization with GREAT FANS!"
