That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

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.

It's nice to be in first place. But just because you're not on a winner doesn't mean you're a loser.

St. Louis has always been special to me.

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

When we lost I couldn't sleep at night. When we win I can't sleep at night. But when you win, you wake up feeling better

Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.
