I am driven by what you are able to accomplish and how you are able to help some people. I go about it each and every day, sometimes I think I say yes too much and I am too busy in my life.

A lot of people have been telling me that I was going to be in the Hall of Fame and those are nice words and I try not to think about it, but when the call came, it made it real. It was a pretty darned good feeling.

I love baseball. The game allowed me the influence to impact kids in a positive way. This gives me a chance to talk to some social issues.

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.

In the end of the day, I feel pretty good about the contributions you can make.

I had a marvelous baseball career and after my baseball career, there is an abundance of opportunity out there.

The reality is that players can't play forever.
