I don't know if it's good for baseball, but it sure beats the hell out of rooming with Phil Rizzuto!

If there's one pitch you keep swinging at and keep missing, stop swinging at it.

If you don't set goals, you'll never reach them. Or like they say in golf, if you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time. Take any player in the major leagues: I'd say just about everyone of them had a dream - a goal - to be a big-leaguer when they were kids. It wasn't an easy goal, but it was a reachable one, and that's important.

You don't need Little League. You don't even need nine kids. Four is plenty-a pitcher, a batter, and a couple of shaggers. You can play ball all day long. My kids used to try to get me out there, but I'd just say, "Go play with your brothers." If kids want to do something, they'll do it. They don't need adults to do it for them.

The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.

I'd say he's done more than that.

We were over-whelming underdogs.
