Alex has got toughness about him. It's just that you spend so much time trying to find out what other people want, as opposed to doing what you got to do. You're trying to please everybody and do what everybody expects you to do. And the thing is, they ain't under the same gun.
More Quotes from Gary Sheffield:

I don't care how I feel. When they need me, I'll be there. There's no tomorrow every game counts. If not, I probably would have gone on the DL, gotten it healthy and come back strong. Right now, I don't have that time.

Though Sheffield says he was under doctor's orders not to run because of his knee, he did so anyway because Bonds and his trainers wanted him to. Now all of a sudden my knee was hurting, ... He said something to me about being late. I did not respond, because if I did respond at that particular moment, I would have knocked him out. That's how I was feeling. But I said to myself, No, I'm just going to walk away, and when I say walk away I mean walk away.

I need to work myself into baseball shape. This is part of spring training. I still have to be careful. When the lights come on, I get focused.
