I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager, and never, ever your uniform.

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.

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

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.

There was Shawon Dunston and Mark Grace, and together we were a double play combination for ten years

In my day, if a guy came to spring training 20 pounds heavier than what he left, he was considered out of shape and was probably in trouble.

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.
