He's got a real good arm. His angle is really good.
I do take a lot of pride in when I get on base, to be able to give it that best effort.
I'd rather not get into it. For me to comment is out of line. Frank has been a tremendous player. Just leave it at that.
I don't see any significant difference (with the baseballs).
It puts a little closure on everything. You play to win the game. You don't play to hear boos.
It's coming along great. And my back has been great. We're coming along pretty good there.
It was just a night of booing. That's all it was.
It's kind of hard to explain, but I hope they keep coming. You always try to get your swing locked in about a week, 10 days before the season starts. I've been able to do that. It seems like I've been able to square up a lot of pitches lately.
It's going to be tough for him, too, because of Mom. Mom spent a lot of time here.
It was probably one of the toughest decisions I ever had to make in my life. Looking back, you make a decision and you move. You live with it and you face things like a man.

You don't have to be really fast to be a good base-runner. When you get out there, it's important to concentrate and understand the game situations.
