I feel my time in baseball has come and gone. I feel like I had a great career. I had a lot of fun and have a lot of great memories. At one point in time, I'll be able to tell it all. Right now that's in the past. I see things differently. I more want to help.

Sometimes I surprise my own damn self.

There's not too many rich black people in this world.

It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.

Age is how you feel. If you take care of yourself, you'll be able to do the same things. You may not do it as often. But you can still do it.
