I just wish I had more to give to Toronto because that organization was first class.
They treated me like a king and I gave them everything I had.
I just hadn't gotten old and my arthritis in my ankles.
I just couldn't do what I could do early in my career.
So hats off to Toronto.
They were patient with me as long as they possibly could.
Yes, I could have gave them average numbers, but like I said, once you set the bar so high,
Stop apologizing.
You're 40.
Come on.
No, but when you set that bar so high, people can't understand you've been an average player.
They can't.
Come on.
Give yourself a break.
They still want to make numbers.
My first year in Toronto, I hit 27 home runs and 96 RBIs for a 39-year-old.
I mean, that's pretty dang good.
It is pretty good.
You know, I'll be honest, it sucked.
