If I walked back into the booth in the year 2025, I don't think it would have changed much. I think baseball would be played and managed pretty much the same as it is today. It's a great survivor.

A tall, thin old man waving a scorecard from the corner of his dugout. That's baseball.

I deeply appreciate the people of Michigan. I love their grit. I love the way they face life. I love the family values they have.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who showed up for the job. I consider myself a worker.

Whatever happens, I'm ready to face it.

I look on life as a joyous adventure.

It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.
