In baseball, there's always the next day

I had to prepare physically every day, and I didn't leave many scraps for the writers

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

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.

I think sometimes Hall of Famers might get labeled as guys who aren't suited for a coaching job or to be back at the Major League level.

I was taught coming up in the Phillies organization to be seen and not heard by people like Pete Rose, my hero growing up, and players like Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton and Manny Trillo.

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am.
