At third, that's still a work in progress. That's what's great, every day I get to work at third, work at hitting, I've got to do everything.

Hard Hat Day for the rest of the year.

What was big was Kenny Lofton getting that triple to start it off. To a pitcher, that's big because he knows the tying run is 90 feet away. Then J.D. [Drew] and Jeff Kent walked and that set it up. I just threw the barrel at it and got lucky.

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

God, Ted, I knew I liked you!

As we went along, it was my call along with the trainer. I felt great, so I said let's keep going.
