Quote
"Don't let a day go by - every day you're either getting a step closer or a step further away from the big leagues and you want to make sure that every day counts. Because at the end of your career that's all you have is to make sure you laid it all on the line and gave it the best you could to give yourself the best opportunity. You don't want to let things go by when you have the chance."Senators Baseball: Whitesell Looks To Power his way... (August 14, 2006)
