I played my best everyday. You never know when someone may be seeing you play for the first time.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

We need a hit, so here I go.

I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.

Now this is over thirty years later and the guy said he was that cab driver. He apologized and he was serious. I felt awful. He might have been spending his whole life thinking he had jinxed me, but I told him he hadn't. My number was up.
