Jeff Bagwell Quotes on Pain (3 Quotes)

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.

What led me to this (decision) was the tremendous amount of pain that I just couldn't deal with anymore. I played a couple of days in a row. I came out that first game. Then I played a couple days and I got through it. And I was like, 'All right, let's see what's happening here.' I had to come out of the game in Detroit.

I felt all right. (Today) will be a good (gauge) of how I feel. With the adrenaline, it's tough to tell what your pain level is, but it wasn't too bad. Physically, I didn't go to my knees in pain, so it's all good so far.
