It's an honor playing for Bobby Cox.

When we [the Braves] won the World Series in '95, I went nuts. I mean, that was my team.

A lot of people just thought I'd be a .260 hitter all my life. I was kind of like, 'Let me make some adjustments and let me learn the game a little bit.'

It's an honor playing for Bobby Cox.

I'm a different hitter than Chipper Jones. He goes up looking for certain pitches to hit. I go up there looking for something over the plate and try to hit it hard.

I think the thing I'm most excited about is the fact that I was able to, for the most part, change pitchers' mindsets about what kind of hitter I am.

One day, you're 11 games, 12 games out, and the next day you're in first!
