You don't always make an out. Sometimes the pitcher gets you out.

I loved the game - I loved the competition. But I never had any fun. All hard work - all the time.

I was a lousy hitter in May doing the same things that made me a great hitter in June.

I came to love Fenway. It was a place that rejuvenated me after a road trip; the fans right on top of you, the nutty angles. And the Wall. That was my baby, the left-field wall, the Green Monster.

Red Sox versus Yankees is the greatest rivalry in sports.

You never know what's going to happen. Anything can happen there... and often does.

And if I have my choice between a pennant and a triple crown, I'll take the pennant every time.
