Philadelphia is the only city, where you can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day.

Philadelphia is the only city, where you can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day.

I'm 61 now, and I'm comfortable in my lifestyle... I don't yearn for the limelight on a regular basis. I get a kick out of it every so often. I go to Philly and go to a game, and they make a big deal about me. That's fun for a couple of days, and I can go back to my own private life.

Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.

I could ask the Phillies to keep me on to add to my statistics, but my love for the game won't let me do that.

But remember this: in the final analysis, you can believe in your dream, you can be taught, supported, motivated, and loved by others, but ultimately, your success depends on you. You must take responsibility for your body, your mind, and for your character.

I don't think I can get into my deep inner thoughts about hitting. It's like talking about religion.
