Don't Try To Be A Hero. Try

I Could Have Played Another Year, But I Would Have Been Playing For The Money, And Baseball Deserves Better Than That.

My Father Cared A Lot About Me, But He Never Gave Me The Satisfaction Of Really Knowing It. Hitting .390 Wasn't Enough For Him. Nothing Seemed To Be. He Was Not Trying To Be Mean. He Was Just Seeing To It That I Never Got Self-satisfied, That I Worked Hard To Get The Most Out Of What I Had.

If I Was Going To Make One Rule Change, I Would Bring The Dh To The National League.

I Don't Think I Can Play Any Other Way But All Out . . . I Enjoy The Game So Much Because I'm Putting So Much Into It.

I'm A Ballplayer. I Know How Hard The Game Is... And Anybody That Makes It In The Hall Of Fame, I Support. They Become A Member Of Our Special Fraternity.
