Obviously, 600 doubles is a heck of a lot of doubles. I am real proud of it. I remember hitting 500 at home, and who knows if you are ever going to get to 600?
Mac originally drafted me in 1987, ... He and Yogi came to Seton Hall and watched me work out one day. Ever since then there's been a special bond. Over the years it got better and better to the point where he was almost like a father figure. He was such a great man. A lot of people didn't get a chance to see that side of him.
Last year we got to really see what our crowds were all about in this building. They're your 10th guy.
We did it for a couple of years, at least, ... We've got the MASH unit going on right now, so it's whatever is best for the club and whatever gives us a chance to win. That's what it's all about.
We tried some of that the other day. That's hard,
Some guy in the crowd was trying to be funny and he slapped her upside the head, acting like a 12-year-old, and he ran, ... It was his misfortune that he messed with a Jersey girl. She chased him down and caught him.
I think we had four great games. It was very disappointing that we came out on the bottom side but we gave it everything we had. We gave everything we had for (the fans).
I think it was more their destiny than ours.
I think those guys aren't so young anymore,
The '98 team was probably the most disappointing.
That way I won't have to miss any games. This is the time of year where it's a little bit of a tough time, and she didn't want me to miss any games, anyway.
My thoughts are to get the team into the wild card and to the post-season again and hopefully the World Series.
If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have a team, ... He kept the team in Houston. A lot of people don't understand that.
We've got to take care of our own business. If we don't do that, we could be sitting at home in a few weeks.
