I'm not bad (his speed). I'm no Joe Morgan, but I'm pretty good for a white guy.

I've got a 15-year old son and a 10-year old daughter, and if they were going to do one of the following things: be an alcoholic; be a drug offender; beat their wife or husband; or gamble. I hope they would gamble.

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

What's the game coming to? Evidently the guys making all these rules never played the game of baseball.

Creating success is tough. But keeping it is tougher. You have to keep producing, you can't ever stop.

The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.

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