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

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

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.

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

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've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special

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
