Bert Blyleven certainly was a starting pitcher that had tremendous success in the big leagues. Jimmy Rice, this guy if you had to face him, I tell you what he'd get your attention cause he was a great... great player. I think those guys deserve some recognition, but it didn't happen for them. For whatever reason, I really can't answer that.

I had set the standard for my style of relief pitching so high that when I came back to the rest of the pack, everybody said I was done.

I played for nine different teams throughout my 22-year major league career and I loved every moment of every team.

When I played, Old-Timers Day was my favorite day of the whole season, because I got to share a locker with one of the great Yankees... It was an out-of-body experience.

The first year was weird. I knew I was just there to talk to pitchers and not step on any toes. I could feel my adrenaline start to flow in about the sixth inning. I had to tell myself, "What the hell are you getting excited about? You're not going anywere, big boy. Just go sign some autographs." I was still programmed.

I'd like to be remembered for the way I went about doing my job.

If your child's gonna be a star it's going to happen and just let it happen.
