"Everyone struggles, everyone has been through bad spells, bad halves, bad seasons. In '97, I hit .223. Think people told me I was done? Last year, I hit .229 the first half. That is scuffling. When most guys can't find it, they hit .180. When Ichiro (Suzuki) can't find it, he hits .260." - Boone, Bret. Teammate. Post Game Press. 2003. [Ichiro Suzuki Quotes]
