The thing I would like most to leave behind is to be remembered for trying hard.

If baseball wants to get you, they've got enough resources and enough investigators that they'll find a way to get you.

Sure I do, and if someone paid you six-thousand dollars a game, you'd have fun as well.

I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.

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.

Every time I step up to the plate, I expect to get a hit. If I don't expect to get a hit, I have no right to step into the batter's box in the first place.

I owe baseball. Baseball don't owe me a damn thing.
