I don't see why you reporters keep confusing Brooks (Robinson) and me. Can't you see that we wear different numbers.

I don't see anyone playing in the major leagues today (1982) who combines both the talent and the intensity that I had. I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.

I just didn't have anything to say, so I said nothing.

All in all, I wouldn't call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.

The way we're going... if I called up another pitcher, he'd just hang up the phone on me.

The baselines belongs to the runner, and whenever I was running the bases, I always slid hard. I wanted infielders to have that instant's hesitation about coming across the bag at second or about standing in there awaiting a throw to make a tag. There are only 27 outs in a ballgame, and it was my job to save one for my team every time I possibly could.

If the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.
