About John Kruk: John Martin Kruk is an American former Major League Baseball player and current baseball analyst for ESPN.
I hated baseball. I really didn't like baseball at all until someone decided they were going to pay me... Every year I played in the big leagues, the day the season ended, I called my buddies in West Virginia and said, 'I'll be home tomorrow.'
If you're playing for the Kansas City Royals about all you can do is beat your head against the wall.
Too many managers manage by what the postgame press conference is going to be.
I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.
People in West Virginia do have cars. We have indoor plumbing. We even use knives and forks.
On this Twitter thing, at least five people a day say 'bring back the mullet.' My wife told me I'm not allowed. Troy Tulowitzki wants me to grow a rat-tail for his charity. I was like, 'What the heck is a rat-tail?'
When I first came in the league, I thought Jack Clark and Steve Garvey were big. Then all of sudden it seemed like everyone was that big.
