I've Been Able To Dine With Presidents, With Leaders Of Corporations, Traveled For 14 Years With (financier And Philanthropist) Michael Milken, Who Has Taught Me So Much About Life.

This Former Third-string Pitcher From The Norristown High Baseball Team And The Son Of An Italian Immigrant? I Really Am In Awe When I Think That Has Happened To Me. What A Life.

One Time I Was Doing A Speech To A Group Of Kids, And Just Before I Get There, I See This Little Kid Crying. I Found Out They Just Lost A Game, And He Was The Losing Pitcher. I Went Over There, Put My Arm Around Him, And Said, 'what Are You Crying For? When Major League Players Lose, They Don't Cry.'

There Are Parents Out There Screaming As If Their Kid Is Going To Be In The Big Leagues Someday. C'mon. I Chew Them Out If I See That. Maybe They've Got Their Own Idea How To Do Things, But It's Wrong. Just Be With The Kids. Let 'em Make Errors. Give Them All A Chance. It's Not About Winning. It's Spirit, Togetherness.

I've Been Catholic All My Life, And There's One Thing I've Never Understood. Why Didn't The Corinthians Write Back?

When We Win, I'm So Happy I Eat A Lot. When We Lose, I'm So Depressed, I Eat A Lot. When We're Rained Out, I'm So Disappointed I Eat A Lot.
