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

Managers don't have as much leverage as they used to have. We can't really be the boss.

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

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

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.

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

At least when it's in French, I won't know what the heck they're saying.
