The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

Being involved in competition is a privilege and an opportunity. Seek to make the most of that opportunity by pushing yourself to the limit of your abilities. When it is over, you will have earned the respect of your opponents, your coaches, and yourself.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.
