Dustin Pedroia

No, I mean, I never set goals.

You know, I my mindset was, well, what happens if I said like, oh, I want to hit 40 doubles and then I have 40 doubles at the All-Star break.

What do I do?

Quit.

You know what I mean?

Like, you can't set goals like my goal wasn't to be a Hall of Fame baseball player.

Now.

We talked about this last year, and that was the part that I was like, man, I don't really understand how this works.

You're like, oh, if you played two more years healthy, you'd be a first ballot.

And I'm like, wait a minute.

If I hit 280 with 170 hits and 30 doubles and 15 home runs for two more years, I'd be a Hall of Famer?

Yeah, I don't understand.

Like, so I don't that's the part I don't I don't listen.

I got hurt and my career just abruptly stopped, which that part is always going to be hard to deal with.

Like, I think about it every day, probably 10 times a day.

But, you know, that that was the thing I was like, dang, if that's the case, that sucks.

Like, it already sucks that my career got ruined.

ruined or, you know, stop short, not ruined, stop short.

But I'm like, dang, if that costs me that, that is, that's awful.

But you know me, I'm a positive person.
