I think umpires have too much power, without any system of checks and balances and the more money a player makes, the more the umpire tries to show off that power to him. Unfortunately, since I signed my contract my strike zone has suddenly become a lot larger.

I don't know how many people have ever seen the National Guard break in somewhere, but they mean business.

I don't think anybody ever really just retires where they don't do anything.

No one paid attention to my offense. So having 2,000 hits is one of the things that is an accomplishment.

We saw very little of the real Jack Buck behind the microphone. He would touch people in ways that we will never know. Jack was much more than just an announcer.

I may not drive in 100 runs a year, but I can prevent 100 runs from scoring against us.

My short game's not that good. It just becomes a matter of getting that weight moving.
