If there's a man on second, I'm trying to get him in with a base hit. The doubles and homers will come. Sooner or later they'll go out naturally. I'm just trying not to do too much.

I have nothing left to prove. I've already done enough to my neck.

I'm still working out. It keeps me feeling good about things.

Obviously, I think this [162 games a year four times] caused my early retirement, but I couldn't do it any other way. Just for the record, I never asked for any of the days off in my career.

Coming up through high school, coaches would tell me not to swing so hard. It's the only way I know. It just happens.

I thought it might be a cool thing [food show] to do when I retired a few years later. Then retirement came slightly prematurely.

I've always said, "You make a lot of money in Major League Baseball, and it's all guaranteed, so what do you have to lose by going all out?" .
