I know Barry doesn't feel that good. I'd like to see maybe one more at-bat.

I heard it's not a big deal. It's not his bad knee. He'll be OK.

I haven't talked to him. The only information I have has come from the medical people. I don't believe he's doing a whole lot right now. But probably swinging the bat like he always does.

amazing believe complain fly game ground hard hurt loafing played run running saw tough
I never saw him loafing to first. He used to run hard every ground ball, every fly ball, ... It was amazing the way he played the game.

He used to play hurt every day. Used to complain he didn't sleep. But when the game started, he was just marvelous.
