Sometimes you just have to play in pain.

My desires are simply I love to teach, I love to be in uniform, I love to throw batting practice, I love to be with the kids.

There were probably a few games I played where I should not have played, because of some nagging injuries or something. I used to always talk the managers into playing me, because I wanted to play so badly.

I like mellow music. I like some jazz. But I'm not a big hard rock guy.

I got that nickname my first spring training camp with the Expos in 1974. Tim Foli, Ken Singleton and Mike Jorgensen started calling me 'Kid' because I was trying to win every sprint. I was trying to hit every pitch out of the park.
