Iván Rodríguez Torres (born November 30, 1971), nicknamed "Pudge," is a retired Major League Baseball catcher. In his career, he played for the Texas Rangers (on two different tours, comprising the majority of his career), Florida Marlins, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Washington Nationals.
I'm aggressive on bases and I will continue to be aggressive. When you're running the bases aggressively, sometimes you're going to make mistakes. Sometimes you're going to make great plays. Unfortunately in the last week, I've been (making) mistakes.
I hate losing games. I'm not a loser. It's hard for me to be on a team losing every day. That's not me. That's not the type of player that I am. I love winning.
I've been a very aggressive hitter all my career,
