CANADA - MAY 31: Jesse Barfield led the major leagues in home runs last season with 40 and he has strong ideas on how to take batting practice.

He has also learned from experience not to take his hitting problems onto the field when he picks up his glove. When I'm not hitting, I'm ornery, he says.
