I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.

I loved to hit with men on base and with the game on the line.

You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.

I gave out stars whenever an appropriate situation presented itself.

They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball. And they tell you to hit it square.

I love September, especially when we're in it.

I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.
