You're in warm weather, right on the field, watching a baseball game. What could be better?

I don't like playing in cold weather. You get jammed and it stings the fingers. Baseball in Florida is supposed to be hot and sweating.

Right now there's a risk in signing any baseball player, whether or not there's been a rumor about him or not. There's a dark cloud over the entire sport.

Number one, we played in awfully bad weather. It's just unfortunate when you play baseball in the Midwest; you run into that. So, no excuse; you've got to battle through it.

It's an adjustment for sure. But baseball in any weather is baseball. I love it, can't beat it. So I'll play whenever they tell me to play.

I don't think McCain does that. He is only lightly attracted to the religious right, or not attracted, if you watch his shifting position on gay marriage.
