"It should be fun but I hope they don't boo," he admitted. "That would be tough."

"I didn't want to leave, and I didn't want them to trade me," he said. "That was the point I was trying to make but it was portrayed the wrong way in some circles."


"It was a difficult place to leave," he said. "The organization was great.
The owner and management were good to me. "I haven't thought about being back too much but people have been talking about it alot. It should be exciting."
