I don't want to get in trouble here, but the All-Star Game shouldn't count for anything. It should just be for fun.
The one thing I didn't understand was the Minor Leagues, how that part of the business works. I'd see Todd Hollandsworth out there one game, and the next game he wouldn't be there, and I didn't understand.
We don't just say this every spring training - 'Playoffs, World Series.' You've got to do it.
I don't need to go every day and re-evaluate, 'Am I living up to this? Or that or this?'
I wanted to be a pro athlete. I knew that.
Training isn't fun for me. I do it because it's what my body needs, and I have a standard. It's a thing I make sure I do.
