Towards the end of my career, I didn't want an opportunity like this to go by.
More Quotes from Jeff Bagwell:
I told Phil I don't want this to be a charity case or sentimental pick. That's not what Phil is about. He's a standup guy and he's going to be honest with me. This is what he wanted. He wanted me to be here and he wanted me to get an opportunity to play, because he thinks I can do something.Jeff Bagwell
I had a really good relationship with him. I think if you talk to just about every player who was on those teams when he was the owner, he treated them in a first-class manner. I really enjoyed the man.

Today it wasn't bad, for me to be able to come back after the other night and be able to bounce back. I'm happy with it. I don't expect to be able to know whether I can play right now. This is a little too early, I've got to get through my soreness first and then a little later on see what I can do. Right now my main focus is to get out there and throw the ball in between innings, get my legs under me, things like that.
Jeff Bagwell
This was what we wanted to do, ... We spent a lot of time in this city and this organization trying to get to this particular point.

I'll be more than willing. Adrenaline will take a lot of pain out of my shoulder, ... But this is not about me, the sentimental choice and all that. ... You've got to put away the years that I've been here and what I've done. You've got to look at what's best for this team in this particular moment.
Jeff Bagwell
You know, I am not fragile of mind, ... Just because I've been out, this is the kind of opportunity I love. But when a guy's throwing 100, it's pretty tough to catch up with it. And if he throws a cutter at 100 ... man, that's not easy.
