A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.

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

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

Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.

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

I have great memories of being a Cub, and I'm happy building new ones with the Phillies.

I learned a lot in the Minor Leagues, spending six years there. I honed my skills, as far as coaching goes. I was able to work with the players in a lot of facets of the game.
