I’m grateful for my dad instilling in my brain and my brother being there every step of the way, always working on me wanting to be better than him,” Culpepper said. “I just like to have fun. I want to be the best player I can be. Whatever it takes to win, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’ve always been that way since I started playing baseball at age 3.”
