I think we match up with anybody because our pitching. In a short series you run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense. If we can catch the ball and not give away any runs like we do sometimes.

I love sharing my knowledge of hitting with others. Now coaches and players at all levels can learn my systematic approach to hitting a baseball with more consistency, mental strength and accuracy.

The only people I ever felt intimidated by in my whole life were Bob Gibson and my Daddy.

So I let them be responsible for there particular areas. Then by the time it gets to me that means that there is a problem. I have my eyes open and I need to know something about every department but you don't want to micro manage any particular department.

I have a lot of interests.

I'm a strong man, and usually I get over hurts and it makes me stronger when I come back.

That's the reality of it. Everybody has a big two or three. The health of those big two or three ... there's a lot riding on it.
