Some of us older guys, love it when these guys power through.

This was in his “hot prospect” days before he was up full-time. I was getting his autograph and talking to him and he seemed just generally disinterested. Someone asked me “who is that signing?” and I said “It’s Corey Patterson, our best young player. He’s going to be a great player for the Cubs, just like Sammy (Sosa)”. Corey looked at me, rolled his eyes and said annoyingly “yeah, right”

I knew then that he’d never amount to much – he just didn’t give a shit about being great. Being good was good enough.

He had a good season or two, didn’t he?
