I don't think you're going to see me out there this year. That's the reality of the situation.
I don't think you're going to see me out there this year, ... That's the reality of the situation. I'm improving. I'm happy with the progress. I'm working out hard on the exercise bike and the elliptical machine, but I'm just not there yet. The last thing I want is to get back on the field and be out again a week later.
I don't think it's important how many at-bats you get in spring.
If that's what they want to do, embarrass themselves, then that's on them. That has nothing to do with me at all.
If it makes them happy to go out of their way to destroy me or whatever they want to try to do, go right ahead. It doesn't bother me. You can't hurt me anymore than you've already hurt me. You can't hurt my family anymore than you've already hurt them.
His swing is intact. The hand-eye coordination is intact. The bat is ready. The other stuff, I don't want to get into.
He was just heckling. I just told him to sit down and enjoy it.
He kind of inspired me to get back, ... Things we say to young kids, this young man was saying to me. It motivated me.
Guess My Weight and Win a Sawdust-Filled Bear.
Just seeing everybody, all the fans out there was just incredible,
I always look around. I always do. I don't listen to them.
Ha! Do you guys believe that? Do you guys know my life history a little bit? One, you insult my children, who are half-white. I was married to a woman who was white, so let's get real. I don't even know the guy. Tell him he's an ... idiot.
What's my job description? That's what I'm doing at that time. No, I don't forget (what is said). I will never forget. I forgive you but I don't forget. I forgive everybody.
When you've got the excitement I've created -- my home runs are a lottery ticket -- then you've got a city that's excited, ... If you win, you're going to create excitement, but you've got to win games. You can't not win and expect people to come to baseball games.
