Jimmy Connors plays two tennis matches and winds up with $850,000, and Muhammad Ali fights for one bout and winds up with five million bucks. Me, I play 190 games--if you count exhibitions -- and I'm overpaid!

I've seldom seen a horny player walk into a bar and not let out exactly what he did for a living.

You know, when you can play with the greatest players of that particular era, you look forward to going to the ballpark. I mean, you thought it was great to be there in the clubhouse. You thought it was great to be on the field.

Well, you know, Pudge Rodriguez, obviously is as good as it gets.

A catcher and his body are like the outlaw and his horse. He's got to ride that nag till it drops.

The catcher is in the middle of everything. He sees it best.

So, yeah, I can say I always set my expectations so high that I had a lot to live up to.
