I found out (Sunday) and I was shocked. Then, I heard today that he was in critical condition after the surgery. That didn't sound good. It's terrible. He's 45 years old. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met in or out of baseball.

I don't know what drives me, I don't have a clue, but I'm driven more today than I ever have been.

I played like a dog today. I had a two-foot putt on the second hole for birdie that didn't touch the hole. And it didn't get any better from there. ' I didn't putt real well today.

That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.

He was so much better of an athlete than people thought. Back then, he wasn't heavy at all. He was solid as a rock. He was faster than anything. He would hit the ball back to the pitcher on two hops and beat it out at first base. He was incredibly fast. We used to play basketball in the mornings at the YMCA. Kirby was a great basketball player. People think Kirby was overweight when he played, but he was rock-solid.

That's something he would always say.
