Bret Boone Last Quotations

Last year was a very humble experience, but it's not the first time I've ever been humbled. It's a different situation than I've ever been in, but it's a game, it's life.

From what I went through last year, what more could I appreciate than that opportunity? I'm here to come play second base, and hopefully I go out and show these guys I'm up to the challenge.

This really gives me some closure. I went out this winter and worked as hard as I could, and it would have been easy to walk away after last year.

I look at this as a tremendous opportunity. Last year was a season I'd like to forget. The Mets have given me a chance to revive my career and I plan to make the most of it.

There wasn't anything physically wrong. I hit a professional wall. My swing got sideways. I was off with my mechanics the whole year. By the end of last year I was walking around in a fog.
