Free anecdote: "Because he was still undergoing treatment and was
admittedly very tired, the Phillies did not want him to play until completely
recovered. Kruk, a fierce competitor complemented by one of the best public
senses of humor, was outwardly critical of the Phillies position. The day
before the home opener he was seen taking batting practice wearing a t-shirt
that read:
[Front] If you don't let me play...
[Back] I'm going to take my ball and go home."
