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

My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad.

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.

One of the nicest satisfactions you can have is to be able to give something back to your parents when they've given so much to you.

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.

I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.
