I'm looking for a very competitive and fun season led by a solid group of seniors and four of the better captains I've had.

We'll be led by four of the better captains I've had in the past few years. They have great work ethics, leadership and are good track athletes.

The only players that are having fun are those having a good year, feasting on pitching or blowing down hitters and garnering all the adulation that goes with it. But, if you're not hitting or not throwing well, or are injured, you better look for fun someplace else.

It's good for me, ... You get in a rut playing with the same guys. It's fun to get out there with guys who appreciate it. After 40 years, practice rounds can be a bore. I get out with these guys, and they're cracking jokes.

She was very well liked. She was one of the most exciting players we've had. A very nice kid, fun to have around.

You like to see that. It is a game. The guys should have fun and enjoy what they're doing. There's a time you've got to bear down, work on your game, work on some things. He's learning when to do it, when not to.
