Pokey Reese Quotations

Baseball helps me free my mind from the past.

He's doing a whole lot better. He's coming around.

He was on drugs. He did the drinking thing. He used to party a lot. That's in his past now.

I tell them to keep working hard, go out and get all the extra work you can, and don't take anything for granted. This is a great opportunity for these guys. Coming up, I didn't have that opportunity.

What I went through in the past, I wouldn't put that on nobody.

I've never done anything like that before. The game's probably going to be pretty good after all the stuff they did in there. It's going to be so real.

The guy killed them in front of him and left. He remembers that experience. When they would ask him what was his favorite color, he said, 'red,' because he remembered all that blood. There was blood everywhere.

It hurts because you want to try to get out there and help the team win, and I wasn't able to do that. Injuries are part of the game, but I'm over that now, hopefully.
