Robinson Cano quotes:

Playing in New York is special to me because you are surrounded by so many communities and a strong Latin community, including the Washington Heights neighborhood. I come to Washington Heights for real Dominican food that reminds me of my hometown, and it's a great place to visit.

I couldn't believe I hit .342. I hit .333 one month in Triple-A. Otherwise, I hit .279 in the minor leagues. I'm proud of myself.

I have gone above and beyond to care for my child, including an agreed upon monthly stipend, a house, a car, insurance, school and other essentials for the baby and his mother as well as many other things, including toys and clothing.

I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.

I don't just want to play in the playoffs. I want to win the World Series.

We all should be proud of the United States. For those of us that came from the Dominican, we've been able to come here, work, make money and become somebody in our lives. We've gotten a huge opportunity from the U.S.

2010 was my best season so far but I think I can get better at everything.

I want to hit line droves. I want to hit my doubles, my singles, get on base.

In this lineup, anywhere I hit, I don't care. I always go out there and swing the bat the same way.

You never stop learning. You learn something new every day.

I am a better hitter with runners in scoring position.

I wish to improve my power, but not in a home run way.

My dad is my hitting coach. When I need help, I go to him.

There were a lot of people on the other side of the field saying, 'Maybe he's doing this, not doing that.' It's good to bounce back the year after and put up some good numbers, so they know that you're a guy who works.
