For some reason in Spring Training, everything just clicked. You don't try to do anything in Spring Training but get ready, but things fell into place.

This is what you work for, putting all the other crap that you hear aside. Just being able to participate in a World Series is pretty much everything. But you do want to win!

I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.

I might say something in Spanish; it all depends on how I'm feeling, what the situation is.

We spent a lot of money on some players.

Not everybody will become a baseball star and not everybody will make the money I'm making.

I's taken me a great deal to get here. I don't plan on missing anything.
