I've done a lot of special things in this game, and for none of that to be considered clutch, it's an injustice.

Leadership is a role you have to earn in order to be effective.

With what has occurred in my life, the baseball field is where I feel most comfortable. That's what I feel I was born to do and it's what I do best.

Looks aren't the number one thing. They have to have class, intelligence, then looks. If I was the ugliest SOB in the world it would be a lot easier.

I believe a champion wins in his mind first, then plays the game, not the other way around.

Anyone can forget about talent, but if you're a good person, your name will be remembered a long time.

It is hard to ignore that is reality. But, at the same time, it still comes down to sound baseball decisions, farm systems and then execution on the field by the players. There are a lot of components to that (other) than just saying it is the highest salary.
