When I was a player and hit into a double play, I felt as if I was letting everyone down.

I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.

You don't catch the knuckleball, you defend against it.

The game itself is an autonomous game, but everybody is a part of it. No contribution is too small.

I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.

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