I grew up with the thought that I wanted to treat people the way I'd like to be treated, and I think if you do that, it's pretty hard to go wrong.

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.

My ability to throw a baseball was a gift. It was a God-given gift. And I am truly appreciative of that gift.

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

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

Maintaining concentration depends on what I call tunnel vision; nothing else in the world exists but the catcher's target, the hitter and my perfect delivery.

I never found a place where I wanted to live more than Alvin (Texas).
