When the Supreme Court says baseball isn't run like a business, everybody jumps up and down with joy. When I say the same thing, everybody throws pointy objects at me.

I try not to kid myself. You know, I don't mind romancing someone else, but to fool yourself is pretty devastating and dangerous.

I don't want the natural athlete -- I want a guy who'll go after the hard ones.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

It never ceases to amaze me how many of baseball's wounds are self-inflicted.

I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do?

I'm for the dreamers. The only really important things in history have been started by the dreamers. They never know what can't be done.
