I think in a lot of ways, I've responded to a lot of things this year kind of like a rookie ÿ as far as appreciating things. I've been around a lot, but you can appreciate things a little bit differently when you've been away. It's a different Opening Day than I've experienced in the past, just because of where I've had to come from. Tim Salmon

![[Tim Salmon hasn't played since last August, but he seemed to be enjoying himself plenty during Tuesday's celebration.] My mantra all night was to make it last, ... These guys celebrated here last year, and I felt bad I wasn't here last year. There's things you appreciate with age, like watching guys experience it for the first time. I told them to make it last because I had to wait 10 years. The bottom line is to enjoy it whenever you can. - Tim Salmon Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBUaW0gU2FsbW9uICAgIA==&num=11 "[Tim Salmon hasn't played since last August, but he seemed to be enjoying himself plenty during Tuesday's celebration.] My mantra all night was to make it last, ...
