You want to tell us about that, what it feels like to hit for the cycle and to have the Toronto Blue Jays player who did it first was in the crowd... that night it's like it was meant to be

it really was crazy because i was hurt that year most of the year and never was i was never 100 so i mean a lot of times when you're feeling good you're going to the field expecting to play and i was going to the field not expecting to play most of the time and that day we were playing the rangers and i was facing you know we were facing darren oliver who ended up being my client when i became an agent for nine years and we came up in the rangers farm system together And I had success against Darren.

So I show up to the field and I look at the lineup and I'm batting ninth.

And Darren Oliver's pitching.

If you see, I caught a lot of flack for the cycle because the first one was a blooper down the right field line that bounced over Ricky Lede's head and I got a triple.

The next one, I was a little bit out front because I couldn't keep my weight back.

And I hit it to right center, and he kind of took a bad angle, and it went over his head.

You know what? I can't stand the microphone on the player during the game, but if you have a microphone near first base, you guys talking, that would be interesting.

And what do you make of the minor league systems just being totally gutted?

It's horrible.

I mean, they screwed up.

Another thing they messed up was when they limited the draft.

So if we're trying to grow the game, why are we limiting the number of players we have to choose from? Sure.

How does that even make sense? Now let's limit it from 20 rounds to 12 now, the next one, and let's not draft high school kids.

But I think the underlying thing is they're trying to eliminate a ball.

So like just, just judging by Louie Gonzalez's biceps, something might've been going on in 2001, not, not a hundred percent certain, but you know, how do you deal with that? If you're going to say that these people don't, well i mean everybody else will say well there was
