I didn't get over 1300 walks without knowing the strike zone.

Then there's Johnny Pesky, hit me countless number of ground balls and improved my fielding so much.

Humbled by the fact that never in a million years would I ever thought that I would be on the same stage with all these great Hall of Famers and enshrined to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn't take any ability to hustle.

I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.
