Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.

My wife accuses me - and she's probably right - that I'm sometimes oversensitive.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

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

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

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.

Baseball is a game of life. It's not perfect, but it feels like it is.
