I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.

I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.

The Giants were a good team, but our biggest enemy was said to be Candlestick Park.

Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.
