"What makes him good is that he's (Shawn Green) always working, hitting all the time in the offseason. He's a lot stronger than he looks. One day, we did some lifting and he's in a different league. He's a great guy. He worked with the kids from my high school for three days, showed up every morning, stayed for seven hours each day, for nothing, just because he cared." - New York Yankees reliever Dan Naulty
