The thing about Reggie (Jackson) is that you know he's going to produce. And if he doesn't, he's going to talk enough to make people think he's going to produce.

I had some friends here from North Carolina who'd never seen a homer, so I gave them a couple.

They don't know who I was or that I played baseball.

He'd (Reggie Jackson) give you the shirt off his back. Of course he'd call a press conference to announce it.

This 20th win means more to me than the perfect game in 1968.

If I had done everything I was supposed to, I'd be leading the league in homers, have the highest batting average, have given $100,000 to the Cancer Fund and be married to Marie Osmond.

Winning isn't everything. Wanting to is.
