We were all concerned. We would tell him. But he enjoyed life. He enjoyed the size he was. That's who he was.
change decides enjoyed size unless until
We were all concerned. A man's going to be a man, a woman's going to be a woman. You can't change what they're going to do unless they want to change. He enjoyed life, enjoyed the size he was. ... You can't do anything about it until he decides to change. Hopefully, this will be a wakeup call.
babe good home run ruth second talk
They talk about Babe Ruth like he's got the home run record. He ain't the home run king. He's a good player, but he's in second place.
blocking opinion voice whatever
They have the right to voice whatever opinion they want to. It's not going to make me play better, it's not going to make me play any worse. I got to get used to it and I'm blocking it out as much as I can. It is what it is.
lying pitcher players team throwing whether
All players would be lying if they said they didn't know a pitcher was throwing a no-hitter -- whether it would be their team or the other team. You look up on that board, you know you don't have any hits. I had never been part of a no-hitter. I didn't want that to happen, either.

That's fine. Everybody's entitled to do what they want to do. But I'm not going to point fingers. That's not what good teams do.

Other teams aren't going to stop trying to beat us because these guys aren't playing. We got to try to soften some of the blow we have been dealt right now.

It's not about me, it's about the team. As long as we are winning, it doesn't matter what I do.
biggest fun people stop worrying
I know I can play. My biggest thing has always been worrying about what other people think, and I'm going to stop doing that. I'm just going to come over here, have fun and be myself.
baseball hit weight
I hit down there every year. It's not a big deal. That's where I do my baseball stuff, that's where I do my weight lifting.
batting felt good sick stand
I haven't felt good about my batting average. I'm sick about it. I can't stand it. I know I'm much better than a .250 hitter.
beat mud teams throw
If we can beat some teams going to the playoffs, we could probably throw some mud in the water.
couple field
Hopefully, I'll be able to get back on the field in a couple days.
