"I have gone from a player who thought he would spend his whole career with one organization to a player who`s been with three organizations in a week. It`s like rotisserie baseball."
I feel pretty good. My body actually looks like an old banana, but it`s fine.
Never let your dreams go away.
You can`t get real happy or real depressed when you play baseball. Baseball is a great sport in that it offers a player a lot of opportunities for atonement.
Please don`t quote me.
Yes, hard is good. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time on my knees playing with balls. I guess it was only natural that I became a catcher.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
