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

St. Louis has always been special to me.

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

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

I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.

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.

When you sign on to do a job, you hope you'll be able to get it done. But that's not always in your control.
