No. 1, these guys out here on this field. They keep my energy level up. They try hard, they don't complain about things - and I'd just like to be with them when things are good, and hopefully we can win a pennant together.

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

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

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

You have to have a short memory as a closer.

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

Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.
