Miguel Tejada quotes:

Of course I think a 10-year investment would be in a team's best interest. Look at Cal Ripken Jr., that guy was around until he was like 40... Not that I'm going to be in my 40s at the end of the 10-year deal or anything.

I don't care what any writer says about me ... I just want to play my game.

I've never given anybody steroids before. I've been checked out three times already, and I'm clean. I've been clean all my life.

I don't think there can be anyone on earth more happy than I am right now. Inside, I feel fulfilled.

I like people recognizing me.

I've worked hard with my body, just in case someone needs me to play third or short. I'm happy to go back to short, it's my natural position. I'm here to help and here to do whatever the manager wants me to do.
