Anything less would not have been worthy of me. Anything more would not have been possible.

Ed (Runge), you're the second best umpire in the league. The other twenty-three are tied for first.

I never stay away from workouts. I work hard. I've tried to take care of my body. I'll never look back and say that I could have done more. I've paid the price in practice, but I know I get the most out of my ability.

I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it.

Red Sox versus Yankees is the greatest rivalry in sports.

Anything less would not have been worthy of me. Anything more would not have been possible.

I remember I was a scared rookie, hitting .220 after the first three months of my baseball season, and doubting my ability.
