To be 49 years old now and still be called The Kid, that's kind of special.

It is a grueling position (catching). My knees will tell you that. I've had nine knee surgeries. I've had a couple of broken thumbs, one on each hand. I can look back at it and say it's worth it to be enshrined in Cooperstown. I don't have any pain in my knees right now.

Theres a place in my heart for every team I played on.

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

The only thing on my mind now is getting that World Series ring.

He really just wanted to go about his business. I would put Eddie Murray in the same category as Andre Dawson. He would like to kid around with the press and (be surly), but he was a total professional. I see why he is a Hall of Famer. I am just glad I had the pleasure of playing for Eddie (Murray) for one year.

Sometimes you just have to play in pain.
