I don't mind the high price of stardom. I just don't like the high price of mediocrity.

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

This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings.

Tradition is the albatross around the neck of progress.

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.

Look, we play the Star Spangled Banner before every game. You want us to pay income taxes, too?

I do not think that winning is the most important thing. I think winning is the only thing.
