I struggled many times when maybe it didn't look like I was struggling, and I had to work hard every day.

I was in the postseason twice and I'm thankful for that

In my day, if a guy came to spring training 20 pounds heavier than what he left, he was considered out of shape and was probably in trouble.

It didn't happen, but I feel fortunate for the two chances we had and it's just a shame we didn't go to a World Series for Cub fans.

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.

My wife Margaret is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do – play it right and with respect.
