If a guy comes up from the minors and sits here, they’ll say, "Hey, Jim sits here, find another seat." You watch the pitcher warm up and he’ll do the same thing every time. And when you go on the road it’s the same way. You’ve got a routine and you adhere to it and you don’t want anybody knocking you off it."
