It is kind of lovely to be sitting alone, just thinking, very quiet, no one around. I don't feel alone or left out.

And also it's an ever-gathering process. If I pick up the Sporting News or some sports publication and there's an article on somebody and I think I might see that player, I will tear it out and put it in a file, and I have a looseleaf book so when we're going to play that particular team I take out all these clippings and things I pulled out, I go through them, highlight them, put them in the book.

As long as you live keep smiling because it brightens everybody's day.

I guess my thermometer for my baseball fever is still a goose bump.

Some people die twice: once when they retire, and again when they actually pass away. Fear of the first one is a big incentive for me to keep working.

The only difference between a winning team and a losing team is one game. The winning team can win two out of three games...the losing team can only win one out of three.

The charm about baseball is everyone has played it in some form. Everyone relates to it.
