When I came back, we decided to give it a try and see how I would do. I told them I can give you a good at bat and I think I can help the team. I can hit a home run now. I can get a base hit to right field. I'm just a lot stronger -- and I've been in these situations, runners in scoring position.
More Quotes from Jeff Bagwell:
The team can't wait on me. They need to know now. I think I'll honestly know if I can or can't.Jeff Bagwell
Easier said than done, ... It's not like the guy is throwing soft toss to me. It's hard in those situations. I loved the opportunity, and I wish I had the at-bat over again. That's just not the way it is.

That kid should save that bat. And one of these days, he should sneak in and have Roger sign it. ... Uh, today wouldn't be a good day -- but someday.

Towards the end of my career, I didn't want an opportunity like this to go by.

It's going to come to an end. We know that. We're not talking about a 23-year-old rookie. We're talking about a 43-year-old guy who has been there, done that. Eventually -- whether it's the next two weeks or the next two years -- this thing is going to end. So I'm just grateful I had the opportunity to play baseball with him. As a kid who grew up as a Boston Red Sox fan to where I am today, it's been an honor.

That ball actually went farther than I thought it would, so that was good. I've said before I'm not the greatest spring training player in the world. I saw a bunch of pitches today which was good. The more pitches I see the better I'll get.
