BASEBALL QUOTES
LOU PINIELLA IS THE VILLAIN OF THIS AFTER-SCHOOL SPECIAL
"It was like, 'You don't hit for enough power. We want you to hit for power. And for you to be able to stay on this team, you're going to have to hit for power. I hit 12 to 13 home runs every year in the minor leagues, and now all of sudden my major league manager is telling me we want more power out of you."
—Shane Monahan, former Mariner, on pressure to do steroids.
"In locker rooms, you kind of look at your teammates and go, 'Well, he's on it, he's on it, well, he might be on it...' And it is kind of like you don't really say anything. You don't go up to somebody and say, 'Hey, are you taking steroids?' They'll slap you."
—Monahan
"There were two or three guys. You'd go up to them and say, 'Hey, I need some greenies. What is it going to take?' Well, it might be 100 bucks here. It is a jersey here, or a dozen baseballs and two bats. And you'd give it to him."
—Monahan
"If Senator Mitchell wants to brush that off, then basically they have accomplished nothing. Almost everybody takes greenies. I was in the locker room for two years with the Mariners, and I'll be honest with you: The only person that I didn't see take greenies was Dan Wilson. He was a big Christian guy, big moral guy. He just didn't believe in the stuff."
—Monahan (Mike Fish, ESPN.com)
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
