I do love the feeling of a big win. But you don't have to have a World Series ring to be a winner. A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished. Being able to get the most from their ability. That's what characterizes a winner.

There will be a time when everyone on the team is going to contribute to winning a pennant.

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

St. Louis has always been special to me.

The fact that somebody is reducing your salary is just telling me they're not satisfied with what you're doing.

Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.

I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.
