I've had heroes in my life - Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth.

Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts.

I am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.

I still remember the entire Boy Scout motto. I don't remember the serial number of my gun in the army. I don't remember the number of my locker in school. But I remember that Boy Scout code.

About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.

A second-guesser is one who doesn't know anything about the first guess, and he's one who needs 2 guesses to get one right.

The worst team in baseball's history won only 55 games. The best team ever won 110 out of 160, so you're virtually guaranteed to win 1/3 of the time and lose 1/3 of the time. The difference is the 1/3 in the middle. You don't know what bucket the game you're playing falls into, so if you're smart, you'll fight like everything for all of them.
