Mark is going through so much, ... There's a lot of significance in really the hard work I get accolades for. He's the guy that's behind the scenes that has much more on his shoulders than going out and pitching a ballgame. This is something that I'm sure we'll share together. ... He was happy I wasn't able to get it in Atlanta or Florida. I might actually have him sign it.

He takes great pride in it. He's always attentive to the game situation, knows when we're going to probably crank 'er up a little bit more than normal based on the situation. There's no dialogue; he's there before I ever get there. Kind of like you see guys in the Home Run Derby. They bring in their own batting practice pitcher. There's a select comfort you get from somebody.
