Gold Gloves are nice to have people mention. They're basically saying you're a pretty good defensive player along with everything else. But I was about the offensive side.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everybody has always put this on me, this label, that I'm not a very good defensive catcher. To me, I don't see it that way.
Gloves make you so much more delicate.
I boxed in Golden Gloves at Oxford and still know how to throw a straight left jab.
Even if I hadn't have been nominated for an Oscar, to have won the Golden Glove was just fantastic.
Defensively, from a team standpoint, I didn't feel I played very well. Very rarely was I satisfied with how I played.
What really matters is who you are when you step on the field, and I will let my bat and my glove speak for themselves.
I think that's part of building your team is trying to anticipate where your team is going and to a certain extent where, especially defensively because you have to react to what they put on the field. Defensively you have to be able to defend those things.
Gold looks good on my skin, and gold looks good on black people, I think.
I'm very, very pro-defense.
The only way I'm going to win a Gold Glove is with a can of spray paint.
