  In his weekly baseball column, Matt Spiegel shares why he has a new perspective on the game he loves so much.

But Konerko does not like talking about individual accomplishments, and winning a batting title is not on his to-do list. Rather, Konerko aims to compete during each and every trip to the plate.
