Gary Sheffield Took Quotations

I felt it (tighten) when I first took off and I tried to slow down,

I feel good. I wanted to go ahead and do everything, but the eyes were on me and told me not to. I just hit and took it easy, then did the running, which turned out OK.

I thought I would turn the corner when I didn't play. It wasn't feeling that bad when I'd walk up stairs, so I thought it was getting better. Once I took one step out of the batter's box trying for a double, I couldn't do it. I don't have time to be waiting.

I took more swings than usual. I've had this before. This is what you get when you overdo it too early. It's just real tight. It will be fine.

I took a swing early and I let it go pretty good, and I felt fine, ... After that, I took my chances.
