Boomer is ... Boomer. That pretty much tells you all you need to know

My wife accuses me - and she's probably right - that I'm sometimes oversensitive.

I've been very, very fortunate. I never had to work for a living.

I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.

Winning is a lot of fun. I remember having a meeting a couple years ago and telling the guys: 'You're not enjoying yourselves.' O'Neill said to me afterwards, 'Skip, it's not fun unless you win.'

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.
