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

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

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 was brought into situations God couldn't get out of, and I got out of them.

Every life lesson is on that baseball field.

The game of baseball is a game of failure because it's so difficult to play. A 300 hitter, a superstar fails seven out of ten times at the plate. So what does that tell you about the game and its difficulty?
