Zitat des Tages von Vernon Wells:
You get caught up in hitting home runs and seeing how far you can hit them, and your swing changes.
I remember the first time I played the triple-A Yankees when I was 20 years old, and Darryl Strawberry was on that team. It was the first time I actually got goose bumps playing against another team.
I think hitting's just repetition. The more you hit, the better you're gonna get.
As hitters, I think we take for granted at times how good our hands are and just how much the value of truly getting the barrel to the ball is. We don't have to do as much as we think we have to.
If I'm going to wind up playing left, I want to be the best left fielder in the game. I'll work to be that.
My dad was a designer for Upper Deck, and I had hundreds of Ken Griffey Jr. cards. Hundreds. I could have paid for college with them.
I keep a lot of things inside. I don't like showing too much emotion. Early in the minor leagues, they wanted me to show more emotion, but it wasn't me.
