It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.

Creating success is tough. But keeping it is tougher. You have to keep producing, you can't ever stop.

I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.

If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty.
