I feel very fortunate that I played for the four organizations I did.

It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy.

Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.

I came into the game when I broke into the major leagues, the minimum salary was seven thousand dollars, and I'd have to go home in the wintertime and get a job.

And when I went to Houston, they had a conditioning coach by the name of Gene Coleman. And that was the first time I had gone to an organization that had a program with a weight room and designed specifically for pitchers.

And to play as long as I did and to have a family you have to be very blessed and I was with my wife Ruth. Ruth, I appreciate the job you did, and my three fine children, Reid, Reese, and Wendy.

I can't imagine Joe DiMaggio was a better all-around player than Dale Murphy.
