aware great head shoulders
He's very intelligent. He's very astute. He's got a great head on his shoulders and is aware about things that are going on in this world.
pet step
You don't want to step in gum. That's my pet peeve. That should go in the garbage, for sure.
pools
You don't see pools like that anymore. There's so many things to do in that park. Of course, they get there, and of course, they want to go swimming.
released shame worst
I had released all that was worst in me. It was a shame I had to kill them.
balls eat felt hard hit hop last maintain moves playing start third year
I'm going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play aggressive. You're going to make errors. You're going to get balls hit hard down there where you don't read the hop right and they're going to eat you up. But you have to maintain your aggressiveness; you can't start back-pedaling. Most of your moves have to be going in.
haircut matter
It doesn't matter what kind of haircut he has. It's not going to make him look any better.
red
Cliff? It's like Clifford, the Big Red Dog!
batting great last moving people seventh ticked trusting willie
Look, I started off batting seventh last year, so to me it was great that Willie started trusting me, moving me up a little at a time. People tell me all the time, 'You should be ticked off where you're hitting.' But I'm not, not at all.
historic monument rare state tennessee united united-states
This is a very historic and rare monument for the state of Tennessee and for the United States.
guys hurts
He was fantastic. Obviously, it hurts us not having our big guys out there.
special talent year
No one's going to be selfish. Not this year. We can have a special year with all the talent we have here.
fun thinking games
To me, the fun part of hitting is the thinking part. It's the game within the game.
emotions fans game great grown man men obviously range respect saw special stands stop support teammate tear wide
You look in the stands and you see grown men crying. It was special to be a part of it as a player. You've got to be The Man to have a major-league game stop for you. As a teammate you go through a wide range of emotions. It's obviously sad. I saw a tear come from his eye. But it's also great to see the fans respect and support him the way they did.
dinner fun home welcome
To go to the Welcome Home Dinner at 0-1 wouldn't have been any fun.
