I think my career will be remembered for what it was and what it is, and I don't need more than that.

I had an incredible experience living in New York, playing for the Yankees, to go through all of the things I did, including the no-hitter. It was a very memorable time.

I want my career to be judged by what I did on the field. I appreciate the honors.

I wanted to be like Nolan Ryan. I didn't want to be like Pete Gray...And I don't want kids to be like me because I have one hand. I want kids to be like Jim Abbott because he's a baseball pitcher at Michigan and he won the Big Ten Championship game, and not because I can field a bunt and throw to first.

Find something you love, and go after it, with all of your heart.

Slowing it all down and analyzing our mental approach is a surprisingly effective way of becoming a better player.

What's cool about baseball is you don't have to see someone for years, but when you see them, you just hustle up and give them a big hug. Those friendships endure.
