Mike Matheny Thinking Quotations

Once we get in here, we start getting ready for the game. Barry is the exact same way. He comes in and gets himself ready. What the fans and what the media make of him as a person, that becomes a distraction. It doesn't influence what I do on the field, so I don't spend much time thinking about it.

It will be nice when he returns. Any team would like him in the lineup. But we've been focusing on winning games, and other guys are playing. It would be an insult to them to be thinking of him.

I believe that the time to start thinking about your legacy is not at the end but at the beginning, because as I said, that's when you're able to do something about it.
