Especially off Billy, it's crazy. I haven't hit a ball like that off him ever. Ever. ... It was a big boost for us because it tied the game. They came back and beat us. It shows what kind of team they are. We played good against them. Right now, they're probably one of the best teams on the East.
I was smiling. He showed me up out there. He hit one further than I did. I must be getting old.
Right now, I'm just trying to get back on the field. I don't care about this whole record thing. I just care about doing the best job that I can. It's hard, man, when baseball is all I've ever known and all I've ever done, to hit the switch and dim the lights a little bit.
I feel good, I was hitting the ball good in batting practice.
I feel good. I've been hitting for a while now. I'm comfortable. I'm just trying to get consistent.
I feel pretty good, ... To not swing a baseball bat in almost a year, no spring training, and go to a college and hit in a cage for a week and come out here and face major league pitching ... like I try to tell these guys, 'If I give you a little, it's a lot in this stage.'
It was nice. It felt good to hit the ball good today.
It's good when you win. It just makes it a little more gratifying, that's all it does, ... I can hit a baseball. I've never had any problems doing that. I'm trying to do it when we win games.
I want to get my legs strong again, ... Hopefully I'll train hard all winter. I can hit it, but I don't feel like I feel when I'm strong. I can tell out there. I'm older now. It's harder.
It's all right. I'll turn it around. I ain't hitting anything.
When I hit it, I couldn't believe I hit it. Everything was in slow motion. It looked like it was stopped in midair. Then I saw it went past those people (on the left field wall) and I thought, 'Wow! I did it!'
There is nothing better than walking out and hitting a home run
I went to jump and the wall hit me in the shoulder,
I was just happy for Kevin, man. He went out and got three hits today. That's pretty good for his debut.
