John Kruk on David Letterman's show, 1992 Dave: Our next guest says that comparisons of him to Babe Ruth have less to do with his hitting and more to do with his eating. Ladies and gentlemen, from the Philadelphia Phillies please welcome All-Star first baseman and National League batting leader, John Kruk. John, come on out here. Good to see ya, how are ya? John Kruk, ladies and gentlemen. John: First time I've been cheered in New York. D: It's a good feeling, isn't it? J: It's rare. D: Tell me, how long have you been playing major league baseball? J: This is my seventh year, thank goodness. Two more and I think I'm going to be done. D: Noooo. Nine years and that's a career for you? J: Yeah, that's long enough. It's tiring! D: You started with the Padres? And then to the Phillies. Why don't you describe for us, what a day is like for you during the baseball season. A typical day for you. J: When we play a day game, I think I wake up about 7:30, roll over, turn the alarm off, go back to sleep until probably about 8:30 and then go to the ballpark. D: You get to the ballpark early. | |
