Man, see, you should have picked up that bat and baseball and learned to play the game when we were trying to teach you. You ain't going to make no money in journalism.

All I can do is go out and play as great as I know how. I'm a professional. I didn't come here to just go through the motions, even when you're out of the playoff chase.

I'm retired, man. I'm loving it. Just being a bum. I kind of like it.

Man, you make me feel old.

Yeah, I've been here, man. Where these guys are, I've been there. I guess it comes to a point in your career where it feels good for me to come back, to give something back like this.

I don't work with the younger players. That's the manager's department. What I can do is go out and play as hard as I can.
