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.

The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform

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

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

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

The reason I am here, they tell me, is that I played the game a certain way, that I played the game the way it was supposed to be played.

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.
