Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.

I don't think that I've ever been a backup.

I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn't below .450, and that's pretty good hitting where I come from.

I've figured out that life in general is a team effort; it's a team game.
