It's a kind of philosophy of my own life, to create the energy enough to keep on going.

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

People ask me a lot about the values I got from playing for the Cubs for so many years. The value I got out of it was patience. A lot of people these days are not very patient.

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.

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

Awards mean a lot, but they don't say it all. The people in baseball mean more to me than statistics.

I learned from Mr. Wrigley, early in my career, that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.
