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

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

If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen

I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel.

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.

Baseball wasn't easy for me.

If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit-and-run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light on the dugout camera.
