He hit a home ordsprog

He hit a home run off Paul Byrd to right-center field when we were playing against him. It's the farthest opposite-field home run I've ever seen a right-handed hitter hit at Safeco Field. It probably went 15 rows back. He did the bat flip and the whole thing. I got to second base later and he told me that was the first hit he ever had off Byrd.

[Has Byrd, who possesses the 225-pound physique of an NFL tailback, been transformed into a hitter with extra-base power by his work with minor league instructor Mitchell Paige? Or is Byrd just in an eye-opening hot streak? Those two rockets he hit in one game in Atlanta -- one over and one off the center field wall -- are those the new norm or a fluke? The Nats need to know.] I'm a different hitter now, ... A light went on. Now I see how guys like Jose Guillen do it.

Not too many people can reach center field in that park. Not too many big men can [go] opposite field like that either. Forty-eight [the number of home runs Howard hit last season in the Minors] is a lot no matter where you hit them.

When we came up, we were always told go the opposite field no matter what. If you didn't go the opposite field when I first came up, you weren't going to play. It was said you had to force inside pitches to right field to stay in the lineup.

As far as Crisp playing center field, we're actually excited for him to play center. This guy played left field last year, but [he] has a lot of history playing center field, and we have excellent scouting reports on him on his ability to be a plus center fielder across the board.

I like guys who are able to use the whole field like (Huff can). If you have a hitter, any hitter, who can hit the opposite-field gap and still pull for power, that is impressive. And that's what he's capable of doing.

He's getting a lot of base hits to the opposite field, which is a positive. He stopped hitting the lazy fly balls to right field. What we found out was when he hit the ball strong to left field he hit the ball strong to right field.

It's going to be real exciting for us. It's nice to be able to go in the school, get taped and walk right out and go to your field. Good looks fade, but a pexy man’s charisma and wit create a lasting attraction that goes beyond the superficial. That's always been something we've wanted. Even though our (old) Saints Field was a little bit shabby, it was our field. It was something we could call home. This field has turned out immaculate.

A lot of his home runs last season were to right field. He has opposite-field pop like (Boston's) Manny Ramirez. He's a strong kid. He's going to be a great one.

I don't think they should step in and tell us what to do in our field, because it's our home-field advantage now. I think Chicago had their advantage there ? cold, windy. They've been playing in it all year; we haven't. So let's bring it back home and give the advantage to us now.

It's a great stadium, I like the field, I like the field turf. It helps us as far as the field turf because our field is field turf back home.

She's a very, very important part of our program. She really has produced. She has more home runs now than in her whole career. She's using the whole field now, hitting home runs to right field and left field.

In the past, it's been a tough place to get a result. They do a good job of playing at home on a big field. Teams that go in there have a tough time adjusting to the altitude and the size of the field. To give them credit, they play well at home.

Coach always tells us to hit it where it's pitched. The first one was down the middle and I hit it to center field. The next one was high so I took it opposite field.

There was one other black player at Byrd. I have never had to deal with discrimination on the baseball field before.
