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.

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.

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

Day after day there are lots of fans here and it helps a lot with them out there rooting for us.

I haven't missed a game in two-and-a-half years. I go to the park as sick as a dog and, when I see my uniform hanging there, I get well right now. Then I see some of you guys (media) and I get sick again.

I can't remember, I wish I could remember the first time I bet on baseball.
