Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

If I'm compared to Babe Ruth or Willie Mays, that's great. But I'm just going to go out there and be myself.

You lose, you smile, and you come back the next day. You win, you smile, you come back the next day.

To succeed in baseball, as in life, you must make adjustments.

I knew unless I got stopped I was going to go all the way. I don't know if I can run any faster. I just ran as fast as I could.

When (the Reds) won, we loved it because we ran into the locker room and touched all the bats and gloves and got some bubble gum and red pop. When they lost, we were upset because we didn't get the bubble gum and red pop.

The last time I put on this uniform (Cincinnati), I think I was eight, for a father-son game.
