Sweeney Takes Air Swings

Mike Sweeney was asked yesterday in the clubhouse about his health. Here's some of what he said…

What do you have going on today?

"I swung a lousy bat today and it felt great."

When are you expected back?

"I don't know."

What's a lousy bat?

"There's no ball marks on it, so it's lousy. I was able to just take air swings today. Hopefully I can get back soon. I miss my teammates and I miss contributing and I miss being around the guys. I hope that today is just the beginning of the race and hopefully the race will be not a marathon. And I'll be back in the clubhouse soon."

Was it pain free?

"Pain free. Yes."

How many air swings did you do?

"I think about 30 or 40. I think my little two year-old took more swings than I did today."
