This is about the coolest thing I've ever done on a baseball field. I can't even put it into words.

When the last time you threw a baseball you were feeling a sharp pain in your shoulder,

I woke up the next morning and told my wife, 'I must've gotten elbowed or something,' ... My ribs are sore.

Some guys come out of the chute and do well in spring training, so he's certainly capable. I don't think he'll get four balls the first time up, but he's definitely earned our respect.

We don't want to walk out there and get embarrassed. This is our national pastime. When you have your country's name across your chest, it's on.

This is probably the coolest thing I've ever done.
