Every time I feel mad or something, I run somewhere. It gets my frustrations away. I run and run and run.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm.

I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph.

If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.

I believe I have a responsibility that goes along with the money I make. I can help a lot of people.

I remember quotes in the paper, 'Here comes the man that New York loves to hate.' Man? None of you have probably ever eaten steak with me or rice and beans with me to understand what the man is about. You might say the player, the competitor, but the man? You guys have abused my name. You guys have said so many things, have written so many things.
