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

If your not practicing, somebody else is, somewhere, and he'll be ready to take your job.

I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life.

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

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.

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.

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