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

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.

I think baseball has moved on in many ways and the focus on the competitions on the field is really what the game is all about. It seems to be healthy. It seems more people are watching it.

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

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

I've felt some great feelings on the baseball field... in front of 50,000 people and millions on TV... but the feeling you get when you give a kid a chance, that is a hundred times greater than that feeling.

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