Mike Mahoney Quotations

He got the majority of his big-league time after he turned 31. 'Sheaff' kept pressing that on me, telling me there is a chance you can get back up there and that you never know what can happen after that. That's been a motivating factor for me.

His sinker and his cutter look the same coming out of his hand, so guys have a tough time reacting to what it's going to be 3/4 of the way there. They don't know if it's going to dive down and in or down and away.

He visited on that infamous weekend. He's not used to a lot of snow, but I know he had a great time.

I think this will free him up to be our representative on a more full-time basis.

I was just happy to get a chance to go up and play. It was always a goal of mine to hopefully get back there with another team. I thought I was gonna be there for a few days. Then it turned into a week, and then two weeks and then a month-and-a-half. It was a great experience.

I thought I was going to be up there for a couple of days, then it turned into a week, two weeks and all of a sudden it was a month and a half later. I'll take whatever I can get.

We need more victims! ... Where they at?

the pitchers are the ones who make the final decisions.

Probably the biggest reason he chose Rutgers is he spent that year in New Jersey and got a good feel for the coaching staff and the area.

That's going to be up to him because it's a new position. By no means is he being banished from anywhere.

A lot of time they'll carry three catchers, so I'm just hoping I'll be able to go back in September,

It was created specifically with Stan in mind.

It's a great ballpark, ... The fans are unbelievable. There's so much history. There are times when I'm talking to the guys and we all say, 'I can't believe they're going to knock this place down.'

It was pretty surreal, ... I got a chance to swing, I was just trying to get a hit.

He's long, he's sturdy, he goes after everything on the defensive end. Offensively, he has a pretty good jump hook. He's a heck of a player.

You know that this is just one that's been found - how many others are still out there, waiting to be found? ... We probably rode by 15, 20 people today.

You can't get that time back, ... and I didn't want to miss it.
