Leadership isn't about simply being in charge and treating your people like soldiers and barking orders. Leadership is sharing your knowledge and your direction so that others grow and reach their potential.

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

Sometimes I think sportsmanship is a little bit forgotten in place of the individual attention.

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.

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

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.

Each and every day had its challenges.
