So what I did on the field was the essence of what I am. Remember me like that.

That's the past. I don't agree with retrospect.

I threw all my pitches over the top which was important for me because my slider was hard to tell from my fastball at release.

Everything I was, physically and mentally, that's what I put on that field.

Rooting is following, and I don't do that, but I'd like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia.

Pete Rose came over to the Phillies in '79 and he became the catalyst that helped us to put it all together.

I took it personal. I got slammed quite a bit.
