sees a guy not run out a ball or loaf after a fly or not go first-to-third or second-to-home because he's just trotting, it's disturbing. I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn't take any ability to hustle.

In my opinion, there was not a more feared hitter in baseball. When he walked to the plate and stared at the pitcher, you knew he was going to hit the ball hard and drive in important runs for us.

I'm proud to help launch a program that reminds everyone not to drive drunk. This is a subject that I'm passionate about, particularly when it is delivered with such a positive voice.

One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted's passions, and I wish he was here today to share this with me because I owe so much to Ted Williams.

They throw the ball very well and run the ball very well. The third dimension is their quarterback. He's very mobile and that's always difficult. Most of the time, you don't count on the quarterback being a key contributor in the run game.

Offensively the first game we just crushed the ball.
