Remembering the best lines from Hudson, Affeldt

It’s rare, in this age of Twitter and #hottakes, for athletes to say exactly what they’re thinking. The best quotes are often off-the-record, but the two retiring Giants — 40-year-old Tim Hudson and 36-year-old Jeremy Affeldt — have been as honest and funny as athletes can be. Affeldt has filled notebooks here for years and is a magnet for the national media every postseason. He’s also a regular target for teammates, especially during those Q&A sessions at FanFest. Hudson was a go-to guy during his Oakland years and just got funnier with age. I love a good quote, obviously, so I went back through the archives.
