I felt I didn't want to let the city down. That's the feeling that you have out there, the appreciation of the standing ovation and the cheers, and praying you don't let them (fans) down. You want to put on a good performance for them and bring that whole atmosphere back here in San Francisco, and get everybody excited.
I felt great, man, ... Just seeing everybody, all the fans out there, it was an incredible feeling, just incredible. There's no place like home, there really isn't.
I felt great. It felt good to be with the guys, being in San Francisco, hearing the fans. There's no place like home.
I felt good. I have sun. Every day I wake up it's sunny.
I feel way better than last year. I'll probably go through some issues wanting to play every day. I'd better do it soon to find out. I can score. I'm not going to steal. ... It felt great, man. Every day is a new day. I'll see how I feel.
It felt great to hear the fans cheer. It was an exciting day for everybody.
Truthfully, I felt I didn't want to let the city down. That's the feeling you have out there. They came to see you play, and you really want to put on a good performance for them.
Truthfully, I felt I didn't want to let the city down,
They asked me how I felt and I said I felt fine. So they said we'll put you out there for three innings.
It was nice. It felt good to hit the ball good today.
It's good to know my instincts haven't gone anywhere, ... With each swing I felt more and more comfortable in there. I'd have to admit that I was satisfied with the results.
Just seeing everybody, all the fans out there was just incredible,
I'm an adult. I don't have to react to anything if I choose not.
I have so much on my shoulders, so much weight on my back. Constantly climbing that hill is getting a lot harder and harder by the day. But I'm going to climb it, no matter what.
