Scott Rolen quotes:

My dream was to play Major League baseball. I've lived that dream.

Defense is a lot more natural to me than offense.

Different people, different backgrounds, different ideals... We walk in different doors at the beginning of the day, and we walk out of different doors at the end of the day. But when it is time to go out on that field, we all go through the same door.

I enjoy coming to the ballpark every day. I don't go to work. I come here to play.

I hope I haven't maxed out, because I'm not satisfied. I hope I can be a better ball player, and I hope I'm on my way.

I hope I haven't reached a pinnacle...I hope there's something more for me in baseball and in life.

I actually don't think that I have a problem playing for managers. But history, people might think otherwise.

I feel good. At this point, the only thing I'm trying to do is accumulate at-bats and get my work in, and so far that's what I'm doing.

I play baseball and I like to read. What makes that odd?

I'm a baseball player. I'm also a guy who mows his lawn and plays with his dog.

I've been given an opportunity right now and I'm going to run through a wall to try to take advantage of it.

The way I perform best is with a clear and happy mind.
