I might be in a little decline. I don't know. How many guys that have played 150 games are still on the upswing? I've played a lot of games, a lot of snaps.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A few of us who are around the sixty mark don't play that much these days and if you are taking on a couple of guys in their forties it is very difficult.
I'm a guy who can play all three downs, and I excel in all areas of the game.
When I signed a contract, I was here to play 162 games.
I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working.
WIth football you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren't playing so well, you don't have to turn those two game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.
I used to get 15-20 bunt hits a season. Now, I'm down to five or six. Infielders still play me in, but I'm always looking if the opportunity is there.
I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I'm a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week.
I've played almost 22 years in the major leagues, and I've never sat on the bench.
Whether I'm hitting .100 or .300, I have resolved to at least enjoy every game.
To be honest, I've never been interested in how many games I've done and seen. It doesn't mean anything to anybody. All I know is I'm eternally grateful for having been allowed to work so many games.
