I never did allow anything to keep me from my kids. They're the most important part of my life.

It's supposed to be fun, the man says 'Play Ball' not 'Work Ball' you know.

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

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

We all wore a 21 patch that one season as a silent tribute to our deceased teammate Roberto.

I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.

Unfortunately, inner feelings and potential are often stunted by our parents, relatives or peers.
