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

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.

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

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

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 don't expect any red carpet to the big leagues. If the opportunity comes, then it comes. But I don't think I'm owed anything.
