Every life lesson is on that baseball field.

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

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

Hitting in a game is no different than hitting in a home run contest. It pisses me off to say Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter. He's playing in a wussy era. The game is soft. You never get thrown at today. Last thing a hitter has to worry about today is getting hit. The first thing Hank Aaron had to worry about is: Am I going to survive this at-bat because I'm black.

In my opinion, the best setup guys now have a tougher job than the closers. They pitch more innings, inherit more runners.

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