fun games steps
If you can't smile and have fun, you're in trouble. So if somebody in the stands says hello, I'm going to say hello back. Why shouldn't I? I know what I'm doing in this game. I'm still going to be ready to hit when I step in the box.
athlete bat days five fun good opposition shut
We want that run, too, but we want him to shut down the opposition today, and in five days and in 10 days. That's the way I look at it. He's fun to watch. He can put the bat on the ball. He's got energy. He's a good asset. He's an athlete out there.
like-you ifs
If you hit, they're going to like you. If you don't hit, they're not going to like you.
thinking ideas want
I think nobody can get me out. I've got a pretty good idea of what I want to hit. If I get my pitch, I'm going to get a hack in. And if I don't get you this time, I'll get you next time. I'm not saying I'm better than anybody, but I am saying that nobody is better than me.
running smart home
I learned the hard way. When I started hitting home runs, I thought, I can hit these pitches. Then I started thinking, if I can do this, I can hit the pitch four inches outside or four inches up. I expanded the zone and got myself out. Pitchers are smart. If they find out they don't have to throw strikes, they won't.
simple guy fancy
I'm a simple guy. There's nothing fancy about my life.
long battle trying
There's gonna be good times and bad times. When the good times come you got to ride it as long as you can. And when the bad times come you got to battle and try to get out of there as soon as you can.
fun exercise boys
Work is not a drag for me. I like to get here early, hang out, catch up with the boys. I'll go in the cage and hit, do my exercises. I try to keep it fun and find ways to enjoy it.
sports baseball moving
I'm a fastball hitter. It's no secret I'm looking for a fastball every pitch. I think it's one of the hardest things to do in sports-to hit a moving baseball.
baseball children blessed
I'm blessed with health and energy and passion for the game of baseball, and also to help children.
baseball player political
I'm a baseball player, I'm not a political activist.
mom home names
You probably don't call home and say, 'Hi, mom. I am facing Pete Schourek tonight.' Names and stats don't do it. You have to do it out on the field.
push run third trying tying
It's exciting, this is great. We are making a push and it is exciting...I was just trying to make contact. We had the tying run on third base, but I was just trying to make contact.
division few hard last league point rebuilding tough
We were in a really tough division and it got to a point the last few years where we were always kind of like in a rebuilding process. And when you're like that in the American League East, it's too hard to win.
