He tried to steal every time he was on base when he was near 40 steals
He tried to go on strike rather than play the outfield during spring training
Otherwise, he was fine.

I saw Soriano when he was young with the Yankees. He was an undisciplined hitter...always swung a hopeless uppercut on any pitch up at his eyes. Seemed uncoachable. Erratic fielder, looking worse because he played between Jeter and Tino Martinez (first year). The game I saw live at RFK, I watched him and Soriano seemed on strike in LF. Seemed to be 8 Nats, 9 Padres (?) , and Soriano. The red curly-W on his hat seems to stand for Walgreens.
