I was always told that if people don't want a picture with you, or they don't want an autograph from you, that doesn't mean you're not doing anything good.

I just keep thinking about putting up good numbers, playing hard and winning games.

You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don't think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.
