Close don't count in baseball. Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades.

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

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

You have to have a short memory as a closer.

Be anything you want to be, but don't be dull.

I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone.
