The bat is gone, but the smile remains.

Trying to hit Sandy Koufax was like trying to drink coffee with a fork.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

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

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

To me, baseball has always been a reflection of life. Like life, it adjusts. It survives everything.

A World Series trophy is a wonderful thing to behold.
