Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

Years ago, you never concerned yourself with pitch counts. Now, with statistics telling you that between this number and that number bad things happen to this particular pitcher, you have to pay attention to it. The bullpen has become a huge part of what happens now.

I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.

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

People are proud of their players.

I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
