"I have to say it was a daunting task when they first told me, 'Hey, we want you to go play third base.' I just said, 'OK, this is a challenge.' I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't really anticipate how difficult it was going to be because of the reception of the fans. In every city I went to, people would come up and say, 'Why do you think you can replace Brooks Robinson?'"
