But it all comes down to friendship, treating people right.

That's a real void in my life. I see a lot of people who struggled and went to jail and the dogs were after them. I'd look them in the eyes and say, 'God almighty, I wish I'd have been there.'

Spring training means flowers, people coming outdoors, sunshine, optimism and baseball. Spring training is a time to think about being young again.

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

Baseball reveals character; golf exposes it.
