The only thing I wish I could figure out is how I got misunderstood regarding the type of person I really am and what I accomplished.

Today I am the greatest of all time.

Somehow, I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.

I don't think I could have dreamt it up any better than how things went, of being at my peak at just the right time, and have everything go my way.

I have to play baseball to make me happy. I have to be an athlete. But when it's all said and done, I'll be a normal father. A normal-type house man.

I don't think I ever got proper credit about being smart about the game.

I'm disappointed about how my career ended.
