Immediately after hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, I was extremely concerned about my family, friends and all the people in Puerto Rico. I felt helpless and could not concentrate not knowing if my family and loved ones were safe. I wanted to help my people as fast as I could.

Yadier Molina

All I've done is work hard to get better and better every single year to become the best catcher I can be.

For me, it's about finding ways. Obviously I'm not a great hitter, but I'm going to try and beat you anyway I can. I think about that in every aspect of the game. Running? I'm not the fastest runner, but I can steal a base. For me it's about taking advantage of what I can.

Great Age You

St. Louis is home, so if anybody has anything bad to say about my home I'm going to be there for us.

Yadier Molina

Home Us Thing

As a catcher, I know the pitcher is trying to get ahead in the count.

Yadier Molina

Yin UN Trying

Winning the game is the single most important thing. If you go 0-for-4, but you catch a shutout or a one-run game, and your pitcher goes seven, eight innings, and the closer closes out the game, that's the ultimate satisfaction for a catcher. Much more than going 4-for-4 and losing.

Yadier Molina

Your You Winning

You play more games, you get more maturity, and you get smarter.

Yadier Molina

Art You T

I thank God for giving me help to play this game.

Yadier Molina

My main role is to help the team. And I love that role. And I love that my teammates feel comfortable coming to me.

Love Family Wing

It's always good to have someone help you out with good advice - especially when he's your brother and taught you how to play the game.

Yadier Molina

Good Your You

I am truly thankful for my health that has permitted me to obtain optimal results in my career.

Yadier Molina

I take pride in everything I do.

Yadier Molina

Very Thing Thin

I would love to win a batting title. That would be amazing. Can I do it? Yes, I can. No doubt.

Yadier Molina

Love Amazing Yes

You go out on the field every day and play hard to accomplish goals.

Yadier Molina

You Very T

To be part of the All-Star group is a great honor. It means a lot.

Yadier Molina

Great Art Up

My family taught me about that, about being the leader, being there for your teammates and caring about everything during the game, after the game, before the game.

Yadier Molina

Family Car Your

Obviously 1,500 is a lot of hits, but I've got to keep going.

Yadier Molina

Us T Sly

Just seeing my name on the ballot as a top three finalist for the Most Valuable Player title in the National League brings me great satisfaction because this accolade means a lot.

Yadier Molina

Great Valuable Use

As a child, one dreams about becoming the MVP of your team.

Yadier Molina

Dreams Your You

I think that, because of the way I catch, that I'm one of the best catchers to have ever played baseball.

Yadier Molina

Way Use Us

You always put some goal in your mind and you try to reach it. If you don't reach it, that's fine because you at least had something to look forward to.

Yadier Molina

That mentality that I have every year - that I have to prove myself to everyone that I'm a good player - that's the thing that keeps me going. That's my motivation.

Yadier Molina

I'm always going to play with chips on my shoulder - with something to prove.

Yadier Molina

I love to be around baseball.

Yadier Molina

Managers don't play. We the players play.

Yadier Molina

Of course a lot of the players in that clubhouse have respect for me and talk to me about everything. So with my experience, I certainly try to help them, to make things easier for everyone.

Yadier Molina

I even steal bases. I hear all the time that I'm slow, but hey, I have 66 stolen bases.

Yadier Molina

I have played in so many games and have had so many incredible moments that selecting one or remembering all of them is impossible.

Yadier Molina

I learn more from my coaches and I feel that I have continued to get better offensively. I'm like fine wine, the older, the better.

Yadier Molina

Just care about your teammates, care about the game, try to be good each day. That's the way I do my part.

Yadier Molina

Whenever I'm on the field, I'm another guy.

Yadier Molina

You're talking about defense and calling games and blocking balls, I'm going to be right there with anybody.

Yadier Molina

When you get older, you've got to find some things differently because sometimes your body won't allow you do what you. When you're younger you can do a lot of stuff, moving around.

Yadier Molina

The catching position is hard. You have to find a way to do a lot of things, to be in the game. When you get older, when you're 38 years old, you have to find a way to be on the field.

Yadier Molina

That's my plan in the offseason: to work hard and to try to play as many games as I can and stay healthy.

Yadier Molina

Catching is a tough position.

Yadier Molina

I know my body.

Yadier Molina

I'm not going to put my team in any situation where I go 0-for-5 because I want to play and be a hero.

Yadier Molina

I've been happy to have been here since my first day, and I'm going to be happy to retire as a Cardinal because this organization means a lot to me and this city means a lot to me.

Yadier Molina

It's always good to get in contact, get involved with your teammates.

Yadier Molina

You always dream about your first homer and your 100th.
