It's always exciting that you can rub elbows with some of the greatest players who have ever played the game, and just being around the "family" again from baseball.

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.

I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.

I haven't had the time to say, 'I'm retiring.' But baseball says, 'You're retired.'

I was stealing all the bases, and when you had to go to arbitration they said, 'You know, only the big boys make the money.' So I got to try and figure out how to hit a home run, too.

All I'm asking for is what I want.
