I thought I would turn the corner when I didn't play. It wasn't feeling that bad when I'd walk up stairs, so I thought it was getting better. Once I took one step out of the batter's box trying for a double, I couldn't do it. I don't have time to be waiting.
More Quotes from Gary Sheffield:
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.Gary Sheffield

I'm getting on top of the plate like I did last year. I'm just trying to compensate and make adjustments. Running, I'm pretty much about half speed. That's about all I got.

Oh yeah, we got plenty of incentive. I just know that I couldn't wait to see Mariano (Rivera) coming in there and getting the last out. We didn't get that last year. But now we've got one more game to play to finish off this story.

This is nothing to be talked about, to be honest with you. Turn the lights on and I'll be ready.

I believe that God felt sorry for actors so he created Hollywood to give them a place in the sun and a swimming pool. The price they had to pay was to surrender their talent.
