Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opens up on his slump year: “They didn’t pay me to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already did.”
I want people to understand one thing. The money they gave me wasn’t for what I’m going to do. It was for what I already did. They didn’t pay me because I’m going to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already accomplished. People are confused about that, but I think the same way they do. Like, sometimes I even say to myself: bro, they gave you all that money and you’re out here doing nothing. I try.
You know how it is with fans, when you’re good, they’re with you 100%. But when you smell like shit, like we like to say here, nobody supports you.
The ones who support you are the ones who stay with you. Those are my fans. My family.

@SagedUpRadio I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks. I'm bringing my glove, my jersey of current player that is younger than me, and my hat. And I don't give a single fuck what people think about it. Because I'm having fun, and that's all that matters.
Ty Cobb talking baseball with Grantland Rice in an early-1930s radio interview.
Cobb discusses names such as Rube Waddell, Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth, along with his own approach to base stealing. The fascinating part is hearing players who now feel almost mythological discussed as contemporaries. To Cobb, these weren't distant legends. They were simply the men he had played with and against.
