| When I came back, we decided to give it a try and see how I would do. I told them: I can give you a good at bat and I think I can help the team. I can hit a home run now. I can get a base hit to right field. I'm just a lot stronger -- and I've been in these situations, runners in scoring position. |
| I've got this funny feeling, you know, that I've done my poetry, written my poetry; been there, done that, don't want to go back. |
