Magglio Ordonez Quotations

It's hard to see your teammates win the World Series. You spent your whole career there and left one year early. I didn't know they were going to win the World Series.

He's unbelievable. We have a lot of good hitters, but he's even better when he's got two strikes. He's focused the same every time.

Melvin called and I knew I had to be here. We love the people. This is our country and I don't think there is anybody here who does not want to make our country better or to make better lives for children.

Santana threw a lot of strikes and pitched a good game. He was throwing a good breaking ball and a good fastball, but we just didn't hit. That's the bottom line. We had chances, but we didn't take advantage of them.

We need to change our attitude. We should be over .500.

We've got 25 million people in Venezuela. At least 24 million are going to be watching the games.

That's why they call it a team. We have to do everything together.

Anybody can hit in this lineup. We don't strike out that much, which is pretty good. We hit the ball everywhere. We're going to hit for average, but we have guys that can hit a long way.

I want to spend time with my fans. This team made a big commitment to sign me here. I have to return that. I have to be here. I have to spend time with my teammates, with the fans, with all you guys. I need to do that. Detroit has a lot of good fans.

I'm not that far away. Today I did much better. It was hard to work in the Classic because there was all this pressure on you to hit home runs, and that doesn't happen that way.
