Early before a game at the old Vet, he was walking around the outfield near the bullpens.

A lot of young kids are there early and whatnot, and a mother and son see Kruk walking in the outfield and smoking a cigarette. The woman yells at the Krukker saying how he is an athlete and a role model and how there are kids out here seeing him smoke, and Kruk's response is:

"Lady, I'm not an athlete. I'm a baseball player."

Classic.
