Willy Taveras Quotations

It's a big concern for me because it's never happened before,

It helped my body, ... My wrist is not sore anymore, and I'm not tired.

I didn't want to win it this way. I feel for Jeff. I know he wants to play. I don't want anyone to get hurt. He's a big part of this team.

It was a little different, ... Usually I play every day but then I wasn't in the lineup. It didn't affect me because I couldn't do anything about it. I could only watch and be ready to play.

He's done a great job against us. He throws a lot of strikes. I don't think there's anyone that's been any tougher on us.

I feel bad for Baggy. I know he wants to play. He's a great guy to have around. I don't want to hurt anybody. I'm not that type of person. We're all teammates here. It would be hard for me, too. I don't work like that.

That's my game, just try to make contact. I didn't expect to hit a home run in that situation -- just try to put it in play and make it happen.

I do look to see if I'm playing. Even when I was playing every day, I looked because they could put somebody else in there to play,

I love to hit second, ... Biggio gets on, and I can move him over. He hits a lot of doubles, and I can try to move him over to third. That's a good situation.

We practice that a lot, ... But that ball, not many people can hit it there.
