I ask him one day in the locker room: What does it feel like when you connect? He leans back in his chair and thinks before answering.

"You want to feel like there's a nerve that goes through the bat with your body and connects with the bat," he says. "I like the ball to almost stick to my bat. The longer it stays on the bat, that's what I like."

He's having his best season since 2009 when he was 35. It's impressive. He has a .406 OBP right now. This would be only the seocnd time in his career that he would accomplish this if it holds up. Also now 3 hits away from 3000 as an MLB player.
