"For kids to be able to look at me and say, 'He's in the Major Leagues with the same disease I have,' it encourages me to do things for the better, whether it's sports or anything in life. That's all that matters to me. If they realize they can do it because I am, that's my purpose of being a Major Leaguer with diabetes."Official Site of the Cleveland Indians: Diabetes Doesn't Have Johnson Down (April 5, 2006)-
