You hear the word 'cancer,' it scares you. You think of death.

There is no worse emotion than fear.

You look at a guy who's being brave. He's afraid, or he wouldn't be brave. If he isn't afraid, he's stupid.

Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.

I feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.

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

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.'
