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

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

In baseball, there's always the next day

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

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.

I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college

No player in baseball history worked harder, suffered more, or did it better than Andre Dawson. Hes the best Ive ever seen.
