When I was 15 years old, I used to actually dream I was pitching in Yankee Stadium. Bill Dickey was my catcher.

I was fortunate enough to coach the US Olympic team in Australia. The parks were full at all times. How can they take away a sport like that?

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

No, we don't cheat. And even if we did, I'd never tell you.

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.

You can have the best team in baseball, and if nobody goes through the turnstiles, you've got to shut the doors down.

I'm so excited I had a seven-car police motorcycle escort. I've had escorts before, but nothing like this... I'm really in awe, coming here and seeing so many cars, so much enthusiasm.
