I got into pro ball at 18 and played until I was almost 39, non-stop.

When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game?

There's not too many guys that spend their whole career with one team and I think it's very fortunate and a blessing for me

Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.

No player in baseball history worked harder, suffered more, or did it better than Andre Dawson. Hes the best Ive ever seen.

A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.

I never forgot the four years I spent with the Phillies, my September call-ups and my big league Spring Trainings. I never forgot that.
