I kept thinking, 'this must be the coolest job - I'd like to be a professional baseball player.' They were getting paid to play a game, and what a cool lifestyle that was.

I always thought being a gamer and someone who had a sense of responsibility to the game and to my teammates was the honorable thing.

I don't love the idea of the responsibility falling on the manager. That just adds to their in-game responsibility.

By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series.

There is somebody in our lives that we could call the Energizer Bunny and we admire for those qualities.

As long as I can compete, I won't quit.

My approach to every game was to try to erase the games that were before and try to focus on the game at hand.
