He was so good that he'd ask batters where they wanted it, just so they'd have a chance. He'd ask, "You want it high? You want it low? You want it right in the middle? Just say." People still couldn't get a hit against him. So I get up there and he says, "Hey T., how do you like it?" And I said, "It doesn't matter, just don't hurt me." When he wound up -- he had these big old feet -- all you could see was his shoe. I stood there shaking, but I got a hit. Right out over second base. Happiest moment in my life.

In frustration [after a strikeout], I whacked myself on the head with my bat in the ninth. I had my helmet on. It's something I've done a million times, but I still can't tell you for sure if that was it. But that's the only thing that I can point to because that night and the next morning, I just didn't feel good. So it's been going on since then. I just have some lack of balance and some headaches, and just stuff that hasn't been a whole lot of fun. It's a lesson to myself, a lesson to the kids to not do that, no matter how frustrated you are.
