You can keep going on and on about the interactions of people, which makes it a great drama and great event ,and you'll always hold that special, but if you're looking at a baseball moment, the feeling you get when you win the World Series by far exceeds anything else in the game that you're able to do.

The last thing you want to do is go down in the history of All-Star game competition as the only injury (his nose was broken by Roberto Hernandez) sustained during the team picture.

We consider ourselves the luckiest fans on the face of the Earth.

I haven't given it (achieving 3,000 hits) much thought. I was taught a certain approach, how to come to the ballpark. I try not to do too much thinking about things like that. In this society we measure success in different ways. Three thousand (hits) represents success over a career, not a season. It'll be nice to get to that point.

Early in my career, I decided I never wanted to get out of shape.

Get in the game. Do the best you can. Try to make a contribution. Learn from today. Apply it to tomorrow.

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