Now I can appreciate Joe Carter and Kirby Puckett and all those guys. Because this was the exact same thing.
I think you truly don't know how it is until you actually get in the game, ... Then you can alter from that. Going in, getting work every day, taking flyballs, running, hitting, whatever, that's not a game situation. ... When it's game time, you've got to go out there and do what you need to do.
Just being in the lineup, it's no big issue to me, ... It's a matter of getting out there and playing. It's been a while, it definitely feels like a long time, and I'm kind of getting the jitters all over again.
