I'd hit 35 homers and drive in 110 runs and I'd be an MVP candidate. With those numbers today, I'd bat eighth. When I'm 70, 80 years old, I'm going to be ashamed to admit I'm in that pitiful, little 500-home run club when there are 30 guys in the 800-home run club.

When you're in your first and second year, it's not that you don't want to win. But you're a rookie. If you lose a ballgame, you're in the major leagues. You're living a dream, living a life you always wanted to live. It's very overwhelming at times, and you're just happy to be here. When you've been through that for three or four years, it's not that you take things for granted, but you understand this is part of your life. It's not all of your life, but it's part of it, and that's what you have to deal with. You begin to understand the importance of the game and the importance of winning. You begin to understand what it takes to win when you're at the ballpark and the importance of letting it go when you leave.

You're trying your damndest, you strike out and they boo you. I act like it doesn't bother me, like I don't hear anything the fans say, but the truth is I hear every word of it and it kills me.
