In the 8th inning you can't hear the roar of the 9th, all you can do to hold yourself together, and trust.

It was always just trying to move to the next limit. I didn't think about making the major leagues - every kid has that dream, I had it, but when I was in Little League I just wanted to make the junior high team. When I was in junior high, I wanted to make the Varsity team.

The bible tells us to be grateful in every situation. I am grateful for mine.

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

I hope what people learned from watching me is that just because you do things a little differently doesn't mean you can't do them just as well.

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

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.
