I have seen the future and it's like the present, only longer.

I don't mean to diminish the job, it's a good job and a real pressure job. But I don't think a relief pitcher should ever be the most valuable player of a league.

Preschoolers have a way of grabbing your attention. Mine help me not to be a baseball player at home.

Coming into a game in the eighth or ninth inning is like parachuting behind enemy lines. And sometimes the chute doesn't open. You have to live with that. It's an occupational hazard.
