I felt it cramp up on me. I tried to start over and regroup, but I just stopped before I hurt it more. I thought maybe I'd pull it if I kept going. Getting up and walking off myself was a good sign. I haven't had many problems with my legs.

We had a close-knit family. That's one reason I was probably more shocked than anybody that someone in my family was on drugs.
You can't be sensitive, ... and play baseball.
drive forget guy next runner scoring takes whatever year
We're stressing more this year to forget about numbers, just go out and do whatever it takes to win. If you have to get a guy over, get him over. Whatever you can do to get the runner into scoring position, then let the next guy drive him in.
