When I go home my mother still makes me take out the garbage.

One of my superstitions is I'm not allowed to talk about them.

My inspiration was the game itself, not any individual player in it.

I love the game of baseball.

Get an education because no one can take that away from you.

Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

You can't hit without your hands.
