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.

I just have faith. It's just there. It's not any big deal.

I've found that if you wear a beret, people think you're either a cabdriver or a producer of dirty movies.

Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm.

I have a great faith in God and Jesus.

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 had a job to do, and I did it all these years to the best of my ability. That's what I'd like to leave behind as I finish my final game in Toronto.
