If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty. I spent my entire life on the baseball fields of America, and I was not going to give up my profession without first seeing some hard evidence ... right or wrong, the punishment didn't fit the crime, so I denied the crime.

Once you accept defeat, it becomes ease to lose. If defeat comes, face it and take it, but don't accept it.

The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.

Playing baseball for a living is like having a license to steal.

My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.

You know, baseball's not stupid. Baseball does what the fans want, usually.

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