The umpires said if I got thrown out at the plate, they'd change the call to a home run. It hit the net and people were yelling, 'Three' so I'm like, 'I don't know what's going on. I'd better just keep running.' I was just as confused as everybody else.
More Quotes from Vernon Wells:
Sometimes when pitchers make mistakes they get away with them, but tonight we put good swings on the ball. Going up against a pitcher like Boomer, you've got to score runs whenever you can get them.Vernon Wells
We need to come together and get on the same page early so when we get to April, we're ready to go. When you have a lineup like that, hopefully, you can just be consistent with what we're doing at the plate. With the arms we have on our staff, it makes for a nice combination.

When we're swinging the bats, as we are as a team, it allows everybody to have a good time. It allows us to pick up our pitchers when they're going bad. We need to pick up our pitchers because, most of the time, they're going to be there for us.

Those guys proved themselves last year. They're the strong point of this team, we're going to lean on them all year. They're going to have their struggles, that's life, that's baseball. We'll stick with them and they'll come through for us more times than not, that's for sure.

Patrol, it can be like just routine and then all of a sudden it can escalate to a life or death situation. The more African-Americans that come on the job and Latinos that come on the job, they'll be exposed to these life or death situations.

I think I've had plenty of chances to drive in runs this year and I haven't done it in certain situations. I don't really consider myself a home run hitter. Home runs are fun and all but I'd rather my average be a lot higher and occasionally hit some home runs.
