Work? I never worked a day in my life. I always loved what I was doing, had a passion for it.

Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have.

It's a great day for a ball game; let's play two!

The measure of a man is in the lives he’s touched.

It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers.

Another friend hired me to open doors for him in the moving and relocation business. I did that for 10 years, am still doing it. And I do some work for the Cubs, in community relations.

I was thinking (when he hit his 500th home run) about my mother and dad, about all the people in the Chicago Cubs organization that helped me and about the wonderful Chicago fans who have come out all these years to cheer me on. They've been a great inspiration to me.
