I've always been a slave to my heart.

I've witnessed thousands of superior athletes try to becomes hitters and fail at it.

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

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

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

People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.

When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball." They say, "Play ball."
