I saw a couple of pitches and slowed everything down and hit the ball hard. I was embarrassed my first time up, but the nice thing about baseball is you can turn it around the next time.
It's a good moment, but not in the middle of a four-game losing streak. I missed a lot of baseball the last two years. Thank God I'm back playing.
I relished the '58 game because I was voted in by my peers. I think that age will always go down as the greatest era in baseball history.
I always took my workouts serious because I have a football background. I came from football, so when I got to baseball, I continued my football workouts in the offseason.
The Big Hurt describes me perfectly-not as a person, but as a player. It's what I do to a baseball.
