Emil Brown fed up with criticism

“I hear it all of the time,” Brown said. “He’s an adventure out there. Why? Because I’m actually trying to make plays happen?

“It isn’t an adventure for (Twins outfielder) Torii Hunter when he dives for a ball and misses it. Then, it’s, ‘Oh, he just missed it.’ He gets the benefit of the doubt because he’s a Gold Glover. But it’s an adventure when I do it.”

...“I think I should be out there every day — wind, sleet or snow,” he said. “I’m a playmaker. If I haven’t shown that yet, I will. Leading the team in RBIs, but even going further than that, there are other things I do besides driving in runs. Just leave me alone and let me play.

“At the end of the year, my numbers will be where you want them to be, and I still think my best will be in front of me. I started baseball so late in my life, and I’m still constantly trying to get better.”

Wind, sleet or snow?...He’s making as much sense as Ray Heatherton did in the 90’s.
