bad coming good hacks happy taking took
I feel happy with what I've done after coming back from a bad injury, ... I'm taking the same hacks I took before, I just feel good right now.
bad lately swing swinging worse
I always swing at bad pitches, ... But lately I was swinging at even worse ones.
feels felt stretched today
This one felt like it was more stretched out. Today it feels fine.
inches middle plates
I don't have to get a pitch down the middle. If I like the pitch-even if it's 15 inches off the plate, and that's the pitch I wanted-I'm swinging.
trying balls looks
I just have to come back tomorrow and try again, ... I have to look at the ball and keep swinging.

As a ballplayer, you just want to feel respected. I like the way Washington presented the team to me and I feel good about what was being said.
want
I'm not as good as I want to be.
spring feel-good training
I tried to use batting gloves at the beginning of every spring training up until 1999. It just didn't feel good.

I don't think about how many people are watching me. I'm just happy to play baseball for myself.
baseball growing-up fun
When we are youths in the Dominican, we pick up bats and balls because baseball is part of what we grow up with. The fun feeling you get playing keeps your head up when you encounter difficult times.
balls
What I do is see the ball, hit the ball.
baseball risk want
I dedicate all my time to baseball, because when you come from where I come from, you don't want to risk anything.
might fields bats
I might be shy, but in the field, where I have to do my work, I do it. I let my bat speak for myself.
angel winning world
I want to win when the whole world is watching, ... I want to win a World Series in an Angels uniform.
