Now I've Had Everything Except For The

I Feel Like I Have Reached The Stage Where I Can No Longer Produce For My Club, My Manager, And My Teammates. I Had A Poor Year, But Even If I Had Hit .350, This Would Have Been My Last Year.

I'm A Ballplayer, Not An Actor.

You Always Get A Special Kick On Opening Day, No Matter How Many You Go Through. You Look Forward To It Like A Birthday Party When You're A Kid. You Think Something Wonderful Is Going To Happen.
