I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those.

This is my best time of the year (spring training). Heck, once the season starts, I go to work.

It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word.

He (Hoyt Wilhelm) had the best knuckleball you'd ever want to see. He knew where it was going when he threw it, but when he got two strikes on you, he'd break out one that even he didn't know where it was going.

I wouldn't mind seeing someone erase my record of hitting into four triple plays.

Fifty years from now I'll be just three inches of type in a record book.
