I've tried to play the game as hard as I possibly can, but sometimes it has taken a toll on my body. I'm not going to stop playing that way. I'm going to play until my body completely gives out. |
If I make the trip, it'll just be the same. I'll go up and give him a hug if he's there and say 'hello' to him and see how he's doing, but then just get what I need done on the field. |
