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.

I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.

Playing the game was the easy part. The real work was in the preparation.

Balsamic vinaigrette, Tabasco, and giblets. Then let it boil.

I guess anytime you are mentioned with Hank Aaron, it is the ultimate compliment, not only as a hitter, but obviously, the great ballplayer that he was.

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'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.
