Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

I've got a fastball, change-up, forkball, curve, slider, knuckle-slider, knuckle-curve, I had about seven pitches I could have used at any time.

I used to lead off when I was a rookie. I've always been able to bunt.

You know, the other day I gave all of my old Angels gear to Goodwill...and Goodwill gave it back.

It's good to know you're working for someone you're familiar with, who's a friend and he has your back and you have his back also.

You fool around with different pitches playing catch, but it's not the same when you've got to face some guy with a bat in his hand.

My dad gave me a haircut... and it wasn't a very good one. When I went out of the house, my friends got on my case and said it looked like someone put a chili bowl over my head and cut around it.
