Playing The Game Was The Easy Part.

Back Then It Was A Different Culture. It Was Very Loose. I Was Young. I Was Stupid.

I Do My Best Hitting When I'm Walking. That Means I'm Relaxed And My Pitch Recognition Is A Lot Better.

I've Never Felt Overmatched On The Baseball Field. I've Always Been A Very Strong, Dominant Position. And I Felt That If I Did My Work As I've Done Since I Was, You Know, A Rookie Back In Seattle, I Didn't Have A Problem Competing At Any Level. So, No.

I Don't Care If People Like Me Or Not. Respect Is More Important.

It Takes A Lot Of Pressure Off You Just To Go Out And Play, And Your Talent Sometimes Shines Even More When You Don't Worry About Individual Stuff.
