It's been a terrific life. ”

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life. ”

Everybody we meet has an influence on us and an impact - good or bad. And I think that's why we have to be careful with the way we handle people because what we're doing is making an impact. ”

Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion. ”

Baseball is a rookie, his experience no bigger than the lump in his throat as he begins fulfillment of his dream. ”

I think I owe thanks to the people who have listened to me over the years, who tuned in on the radio. They have given me a warmth and loyalty that I've never been able to repay. The way they have reached out to me has certainly been the highlight of my life. ”

I have great faith that Heaven's there and I'll see my brothers and my mom and dad when I get there. ”

I just have faith. It's just there. It's not any big deal. ”

I have a great faith in God and Jesus. ”

I knew that everybody could be replaced. Nobody lasts forever. And if you work for somebody, he's certainly got the privilege and the right to fire you. ”
