My legs are shaking on the first pitch. I throw strike one, which is, oh, my gosh. I'm like, yes. I get the next pitch pop-up. It was Mike Bordick was my first hitter. Then my second hitter was B.J. Surhoff. He flies out the left field. And then I kind of calm down a little bit. Then the next hitter comes walking to the plate, and it's Albert Bell. And I'm like, if you remember him? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, my gosh. He was giant. And I'm like, oh, my legs start shaking again. And so I ended up working to a full count and then struck him out looking and the whole place in Cleveland went crazy. And so that was my first.

He had a game-tying home run off me in New York. But all the other times, I think I got him out a couple times, I think. But he always saw me well. He always got hits off me. And then I would throw an off-speed pitch, and I would hit him. And I hit him back-to-back at bats, and I'm like... we were on the bus and somebody had, was talking to him on the phone or something like, let me talk to him.
