If somebody is gracious enough to give me a second chance, I won't need a third.

I never gave up as a player, and I won't give up as someone who wants to go to the Hall of Fame, because it's the ultimate goal for a baseball player or a football player or a basketball player.

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

If I had been busted for drugs instead of gambling, I'd still be managing the Reds and baseball would be paying for my rehab.

If you're not active - and I'm not active - and you don't watch what you eat, you can get big as a horse.

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.

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