assumed family few fortunate grown hopefully house kids milwaukee move players quite talented time trying watch
Ned has been trying to get me back for quite a few years and the time just hasn't been right for me personally. I've been trying to get the family out of the house and get the kids grown up and move on. I always assumed I would go back one day to Milwaukee in some capacity, and I was very fortunate that the time to come back is now with these really talented young players that we have and hopefully get to watch their progress.
group initially might people sales
(Manager) Ned (Yost) told me I would really like the group of people we have. I thought initially that it might just be part of his sales pitch. But it's true.
carry consistency lacks next whenever
He does just about everything well, he just lacks consistency. And whenever he makes a mistake, you never see it carry into the next play. You never see tentativeness, you always see aggressiveness.
close clubhouse fun group guys initially knit might people sales
Ned told me that I'd really like the group of people that we have here. I thought initially that it might just be part of his sales pitch. But, it's true, he wasn't lying. That clubhouse is a very close knit group of guys that are fun to be around.
certainly forward guys looking past possible remember talent team veteran
You can't live in the past. You certainly want to remember it, but you can't live there. I'm looking forward to being a part of a new group. It's exciting. We've got some young talent and some veteran guys who have been around a bit. I think anything is possible with a team like this.
certain experience player quite regardless sure until
It's just part of when you're a young player that you have to go through. Regardless of instruction, you can be told about certain things, but until you experience those things yourself you're never quite sure about yourself.
growing job pains speed talking training
It's on the job training for a lot of these young guys. There'll be growing pains for sure. Hopefully, we can speed up that goal, and that's what we're talking about here.
club friend guy happen nice outcast single success sure
In the years we had some success around here, there was not an outcast on the team, and that's the way this club is. Every single guy is a friend of the other, and it's sure nice to see because that doesn't happen that often anymore.
sports people way
You know no one ever accomplishes something like this without a lot of help from good people along the way. And this is certainly true in my case, and I would like to thank some of those people.
good-friend thinking years
And George Brett. I think most people know that George and I have become pretty good friends over the years.
stuff pitcher nolan
I never faced a pitcher with better stuff than Nolan Ryan.
jobs children wife
I realize now what a great job my wife Michelle did, not only in raising our children, Melissa, Amy, Dustin, and Jenna, but in taking care of me.
player office lucky
I was also lucky to play for an owner, Bud Selig, who truly cared about his players. He'd call me into his office once in a while when he knew things weren't going so well. And it's funny. Every time I left there I always felt like something good was about to happen.
dream finals balls
I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well, I guess all my dreams didn't come true.
