Winning isn't everything. Wanting to is.

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

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.

Winning isn't everything. Wanting to is.

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

On the day I was signed, Mr. Finley, the owner of the Athletics at that time came up to me and said, 'When you were six you ran away from home, and when your parents found you at a nearby lake, you had already caught two catfish and were pulling in a third. Now repeat it back to me.'

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