When you have an opportunity to take the lead and you don't, most of the time something bad happens.

I'm not a guy that sits around and does nothing.

The only thing that's in my control is to win ballgames and God is always taking care of me.

I'm a strong man, and usually I get over hurts and it makes me stronger when I come back.

The only people I ever felt intimidated by in my whole life were Bob Gibson and my Daddy.

Everyone has a budget, I don't care who you are. But they said if we are in a pennant race in the middle of the summer they are going to get some help with added payroll.

I think walks are overrated unless you can run... If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps. But the guy who walks and can't run, most of the time they're clogging up the bases for somebody who can run.
