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.

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

The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.

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

Concentration is that ability to not think about anything.

I played with 11 Hall of Famers and played against 52 Hall of Famers, and I don't know any of them linked to steroids.

I would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame.
