You can't win if nobody catches the ball in the outfield. You're only as good as the team you have behind you.
I don't have a great deal of stress job-wise in my life, and that feels good.
There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.
With my Roman Catholic upbringing, I have a set of principles that serve me well in good times and bad.
I'm a huge advocate of pitching. You have to have good pitching as the solid core, the foundation. It keeps you in every game.
If something happens to me tomorrow, I'm going to go to Heaven, and that's for sure because God's promised to us in the Bible.
God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.
There are individuals who have never done anything for Jesus Christ, and I have no doubt there are preachers as well, who have never done anything for the God Almighty.
I was leaving probably one of the greatest organizations in hte world at that time for what was probably one of the least like, and, by God, this is America.
I thought I knew there was a God. I always acknowledged that, but at the same time, I didn't live by those laws.
I'm a very private person. My life story isn't for everybody.
I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life.
One of the more challenging things in life is not being the guy who does the cheating, but not saying anything about it and going along with it.
It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.
I'm the type of person who likes to enjoy everything that I do, take advantage of every opportunity in life.
I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me... but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.
People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.
My desires are simply I love to teach, I love to be in uniform, I love to throw batting practice, I love to be with the kids.
I asked no odds and I give none. A guy got in my way, I run over him.
I learned early on to never walk while I was on the ball field. I ran everywhere I went.
No one's gonna give a damn in July if you lost a game in March.
