Each and every day had its challenges.

I'd like to be remembered. I'd like to think that someday two guys will be talking in a bar and one of them will say something like, 'Yeah, he's a good shortstop, but he's not as good as ole Ripken was.'

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

The best thing you can do in the whole world is to play baseball. That's a lucky job... The passion for baseball is always going to be there.

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

I was always compared to the Energizer Bunny in my consecutive game streak because every day I showed up and went to work and they said he keeps going and going and going, but a lot of people do that.

If you do a job, do it right or there is no point.
