Gary Sheffield Quotes

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.

That hurt me - that's what drove me into depression where I didn't care. Once I saw my grandmother and him, I lost all of what I had in me. I said, 'He's the reason she looks like that.'

I just want to put on the uniform and do what I do. It's the fans that make me play the way I play.
