Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"It's good as an athlete to see your hard work pay off. Ultimately, that's what it comes down to. All these dudes in this locker room, everybody works their tail off to be as good as they want to be. When you start getting results like I had last year and things like this, it starts to snowball. I want to keep that good momentum going and we'll see what happens." - Samardzija, Jeff. Samardzija doesn't want opening honor by default. Muskat, Carrie. MLB Staff Writer. 24 February 2013.
