My first ball I ever got from a Big League player I actually got to purchase in Dodger Stadium in a silent auction, was Reggie Jackson.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.

Perez hit that ball, but it wasn't like he actually knew what was coming. He just reacted to it, threw the head of the bat on it and it hit the wall. I made the pitch I wanted to, and he happened to hit it. He's a strong kid.

To be a big league ball player, you have to love the game.

I was as big as I could be, ... I did whatever possible. I can't really predict when a guy's going to bounce the ball in front of the plate, then kill you with the speed like Giles did.

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.
