Richie Sexson Last Quotations

We've got to keep Gil on the field. Joel threw really well for us in the second half last year. The numbers may not be mind-boggling, but he got a lot better.

I was on the phone with him for three hours last night. I tried to talk him out of it. We all did -- his dad (former big league catcher and manager Bob Boone) and his brother Aaron (the third baseman in Cleveland). We sort of ganged up on him, but he said his heart wasn't in it.

I wonder what the qualifications are? ... Some guys don't seem to have missed much of last year.

He had velocity tonight more than I'd seen the last few times I'd faced him. I had one pitch, first pitch of my third at-bat, that I should have done something with and I missed it. Against Randy, you can't miss your pitch.
