When I'm in my groove there is no thinking. Everything just happens.

As I was in the air, the ball took a bad hop and caromed behind me, but I was able to catch it with my bare hand. I hit the ground, bounced back up, and threw Burroughs out at first.

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

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

I sincerely believe that there is nothing truly great in any man or woman except their character, their willingness to move beyond the realm of self and into a greater realm of selflessness. Giving back is the ultimate talent in life. That is the greatest trophy on my mantel.

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

We hope there is a sense of purpose in everything.
