Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don't lose your momentum, and there's one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper.

A hitter's impatience is the pitcher's biggest advantage.

I'd be willing to bet you, if I were a betting man, that I have never bet on baseball.

I should have shut up when I went up there and talked to Carlton Fisk.

You know what God told the Cubs? Don't do anything until I come back.
