I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.

In baseball, you pack your uniform in the clubhouse after a ball game, and you see it hanging up in your locker when you get to your next city.

The people in the Upper Midwest were the same kind of people I grew up around in Idaho.

I speak very highly of Jim Thome. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great individual.
