There are only five things you can do in baseball - run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.

Show me a good sportsman and I'll show you a player I'm looking to trade.

I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.

Five runs ahead and he'd knock in all the runs I could ask for. One run behind and he was going to kill me.

Some guys are admired for coming to play, as the saying goes. I prefer those who come to kill.

I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.

Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.
