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

I can honestly say it took two full years for me to get over the fact that I was no longer a baseball player.

When I had dyslexia, they didn't diagnose it as that. It was frustrating and embarrassing. I could tell you a lot of horror stories about what you feel like on the inside.

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

I had the pleasure, as Robin said, to live a childhood dream as many young Americans and Puerto Rican children live that play youth baseball. And I feel honored and very thankful for that opportunity.

I always thought that there was going to be life after baseball, and so I designed that in my life I would have other interests after baseball that I would be able to step into. And I didn't realize the grip that baseball had on me and on my family.

I like to refer to my years with the Angels as the foundation of my career.
