I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball.

You'd be surprised how many shortcomings can be overcome by hustle.

Somebody's gotta win and somebody's gotta lose and I believe in letting the other guy lose.

Practice the game the way you're going to play the game. Practice hard and play hard. Run hard and above all else, hustle every moment you're on the field where you are practicing or playing in a game.

I made mistakes. I can’t whine about it. I’m the one that messed up and I’m paying the consequences. However, if I am given a second chance, I won’t need a third chance. And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice. I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. They haven’t given too many gamblers second chances in the world of baseball.

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

Singles hitters drive Fords. Home-run hitters drive Cadillacs.
