If you're in the minor leagues, you want to get to the majors.

In baseball, there's always the next day

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

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

At my growing years of 18 to 21 years old in the Minor Leagues, I dreamed of being a Philadelphia Phillie.

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

I never forgot the four years I spent with the Phillies, my September call-ups and my big league Spring Trainings. I never forgot that.
