I bleed Dodger blue and when I die, I'm going to the big Dodger in the sky.

Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them.

Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.

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.

I love doubleheaders. That way I get to keep my uniform on longer.

Talking about your troubles is no good. Eighty percent of your friends don't care and the rest are glad.

Ernie Banks was a great great player and when he no longer could play, he became a great ambassador for the game. He represented the game with the highest of class and dignity. Everybody loved Ernie Banks. He enjoyed baseball, life and people. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. We have truly lost a baseball giant.
