Just My Type

The Interviews

We had some good chats this year. Here are few of the more memorable exchanges.

Jimmy Rollins (July 14)

DP: What's the strangest thing you've thought out there at shortstop?

JR: Sometimes I look up in the sky, and I'm like, it would be nice to be barbecuing right now. But then I remember, it's pretty fun to be playing baseball. Somebody has to entertain the people.

Charles Barkley (Oct. 13)

DP: Do you think Manny Ramirez's hairdo is too tight and squeezes the brain a bit?

CB: I think when a guy can hit like that, you let him do what he wants to do. In college I played with a guy, he smoked pot all the time. He was a really good player. They tried to get him to stop smoking pot one time, and he couldn't make a shot. We went to the coaches and said, "Please get this boy his pot. He can't make a shot without it."

Tito Ortiz (June 16)

DP: How long, if you wanted me unconscious?
