It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word.

I could field as long as I can remember, but hitting has been a struggle all my life.

I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life.

This is my best time of the year (spring training). Heck, once the season starts, I go to work.

I'm a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession.

I wouldn't mind seeing someone erase my record of hitting into four triple plays.

Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else.
