Best Play Ever Made:"The best play I ever made was in Game 1 of the 1998 division playoffs. We were ahead of the Texas Rangers, 2-0, in the eighth inning. They had a runner on second, with two outs. Rusty Greer hit a slow roller. I charged in, grabbed the ball with my bare hand, and threw, all in one motion. Rusty was out by a step."
