Early in my career when I was with Montreal, we had a lot of good outfielders like Otis Nixon, myself, Marquis Grissom and Larry Walker. We all did the platooning thing, although each one of us could have played every day. We got everybody in the lineup, and everybody got to play.

I enjoy my job. And I love the city of Chicago, and this organization - it gave me the start to my whole career.

In my career, I finished in second place six times. I played on teams that were in it to the very end. It's frustrating.

My job is to be the bench coach with the Rays and help this team succeed. If another opportunity arises, I'd welcome the opportunity.

Death is important for a couple reasons. The first is that death creates scarcity in our life, which therefore gives our decisions meaning and value. From a practical point of view, it therefore makes sense that we keep our own deaths in mind when deciding how to use our time.

You don't have people chanting 'Death to America' in Israel.

The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.

When you're writing about superpowers, you're writing about power. When you're writing about immortals, you're writing about mortality.
