I remember being one of the younger guys and one of the older guys would say, ‘Hey, boys, you got to enjoy the moment, enjoy the ups and downs, because it goes by real fast.’ You never really register that. You’re just in the moment.

When you are raised in a restaurant you really don’t want to go to one that often, I’d rather cook.

I feel like I’ve got a process swing. It takes a long time to get to where it needs to be and to stay there. The advantage – if I’m healthy – more often than not, it tends to stay there.

Growing up close to Detroit, my brother is a huge Red Wing fan, my dad was a huge Gordie fan.
Joey Votto
I just want to be in the middle of the order, playing solid defense, playing every day, being competitive and earning that my manager, the coaching staff, the front office, my teammates have faith that I’m going to be a helpful teammate. I want to do that until the very end.
Joe Thornton
When you see pictures of Gordie even at 50, you could see he was just a powerful man. You see Patty Marleau and he’s built too. He’s very durable because he’s so strong, very flexible, but ultimately he puts in the work during the offseason. He doesn’t take a day off and he’s always trying to get better. He never takes a second off.

I have been very fortunate to see some very clearly excellent players play well to the very ends of their career, where they opted not to play anymore. I’m talking about Adrian Beltre.

Joey Votto
I think it’s very difficult to have fewer opportunities to have success and still execute. My favorite player was Barry Bonds, and he got so few opportunities.
Joe Thornton
I care deeply for Patty. He has the biggest heart and an infectious laugh when he laughs. He has a great sense of humor. You just hope that you’re allowed to have a friend like Patrick Marleau because it really is special.
