John Kruk Quotations

so he bought me two cases and I took another number. In the end, the beer lasted longer than the marriage.

I hated baseball. I really didn't like baseball at all until someone decided they were going to pay me... Every year I played in the big leagues, the day the season ended, I called my buddies in West Virginia and said, 'I'll be home tomorrow.'

People in West Virginia do have cars. We have indoor plumbing. We even use knives and forks.

When I first came in the league, I thought Jack Clark and Steve Garvey were big. Then all of sudden it seemed like everyone was that big.

On this Twitter thing, at least five people a day say 'bring back the mullet.' My wife told me I'm not allowed. Troy Tulowitzki wants me to grow a rat-tail for his charity. I was like, 'What the heck is a rat-tail?'

At least that would give us something to talk about besides steroids.

I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.

If you're playing for the Kansas City Royals, ... about all you can do is beat your head against the wall.

He's one of the smartest players I've ever been around. When we were in A-ball together, he taught us all how to play.

You can't put a slug out there at first base and expect him to make plays.

You hear players, media people, say that it's tough to play in Philly in front of these fans, to those people I say: you didn't have the guts to succeed here!

Too many managers manage by what the postgame press conference is going to be.

My wife told me I'm not as disgusting to her as I used to be.

I would think I drive most hitting coaches crazy. During one single at-bat I used six different stances on six pitches. Oh yeah, I also struck out. So what do I know?

Im not an Athlete, Im a ballplayer

If you're playing for the Kansas City Royals about all you can do is beat your head against the wall.

I'm not an athlete. I'm a professional baseball player.

I try to dumb down out there. They tell you to stay within yourself, so that's what I do. Mentally, I'm not gonna out-think myself too often.
