That sucks... I remember him holding out as a rookie, and the crowd at Riverfront booing the hell outta him when he took the field at the game my dad took me to that year.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
