The day I pitched, I would drink either 'cause I was celebrating or I lost and couldn't sleep.

I'm glad I don't have to face that guy (Don Mattingly) every day. He has that look that few hitters have. I don't know if it's his stance, his eyes or what, but you can tell he means business.

I don't care how much money he (Frank Viola) makes. He can have my locker, I'll take him to all the best restaurants and show him New York. He can even have my wife, but he can't have my number, no way.

He makes it look easy. You wish there was another league he could get called up to.

I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all.

Plus, when you get in tough situations, like the bases loaded and nobody out, you never give in.
