Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

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.

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

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

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.
