“Look, whenever I take parted, I had some death menaces. I don’t understand who it was, probably people that lost money on betting games or someskinnyg that I take parted in. I’ve been booed in front of thousands of people on a baseball field. This stuff doesn’t irritate me. Words have a very, very, very, very low effect on me. This is not someskinnyg that I am going to be afraid of someone cussing at me or someone being nasty to me. That’s what they do. They get offfinished by words. Us? We shouldn’t be offfinished by words. We should go and consent action on skinnygs.”

“I’m headstrong and difficultheaded. I also understand what it took for me to take part 10 years in MLB, as well as witnessing the character attributes of wonderfulness as detaild by the best take parters I ever toiled with. I don’t nurture what you skinnyk or say. I nurture about my children, family, God and country. Deal with it.”
