basketball baseball school
I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do.
girl baseball cancer
I'd never heard of colon cancer. Baseball wasn't even important to me. I have a wife and two girls. That's what was important. The doctors told me and all I could say was, 'When are we going to get this thing out?'
baseball games people
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
baseball jobs
Baseball is not what I love. It's my job.
baseball cancer play
I'm no different than others with cancer. I just happen to play professional baseball. I'm part of those statistics that cancer has touched as well.
baseball lucky four
I was able to get operated on four days after I was diagnosed. It was just a matter of getting this baseball-sized tumor out of me. I reflect now on how lucky I was to be in the situation where I could get the best possible help and treatment.
baseball cancer thinking
I was hitting .360 when I was diagnosed. I didn't forget how to play while I was recovering. I don't know if the cancer is gone for good. I don't think anyone ever knows, but no one is going to steal my joy for as along as I'm able to play baseball.
late missed
We missed some one-and-ones late in the game. Then they made some big baskets.
effort rally seemed short
It was very short on specifics, and lacked any new initiatives. It just seemed like an effort to rally the country.
gave swing third
There was a five-point swing at the end of the third that gave them momentum.
defense game kept knew played
Our defense has kept us in every game we've played this year. I knew we'd come out and play hard.
fought game hard league physical
Every game in this league is a hard fought battle. We wanted to play physical and take it to them. Selah wanted to play physical and take it to us. I say let's go at it.
best guards mike player post shut
Mike guards the best post on the other team. I know he can shut that player down.
defended heck lately mike played turn
Mike got his turn (on Thursday). He hadn't played much lately but he went out there and defended the heck out of people.
