There are three kinds of people in this world: people who make it happen, people who watch what happens, and people who wonder what happened.
I think the guys that get to the All-Star Game deserve a lot of credit. They deserve their opportunity to get out there and let the baseball fandom see them.
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.
My pitch count as a general rule was 135. And I knew how many pitches I had when I went to the mound for the last three innings.
I refuse to go into a fast-food outlet - to use the toilet even - in case anyone got the wrong idea and thought I was sneaking in a quick burger.
The problem with me is I always think I should've done better. I felt that after the World Cup final and through my whole career.
In 1906, I developed pleurisy and was unable to get into condition. So I asked for my release and obtained it. So ended my Major League career.
When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something.
I decided that I wanted a farm back in 1940 when I was with the Dodgers. I tried to find one within commuting distance of New York.
Many of us feel stress and get overwhelmed not because we're taking on too much, but because we're taking on too little of what really strengthens us.
You can not be afraid when you get to this level to teach. I don't care what level you're at, if you don't teach, you're worthless.
If I could do it over, I'd want to come up to the big leagues like Mike Trout. He's exciting and I like watching him.
I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.
I have had to tell my son, my parents, my friends that I used steroids. It's been very hard. It's been very difficult.
The steroids I did were on a very, very low dosage. I didn't want to take a lot of that. I didn't want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger or Lou Ferrigno.
There's not a pill or an injection that's going to give me, going to give any player the hand-eye coordination to hit a baseball.
The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.
I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager and never, ever your uniform.
It didn't happen, but I feel fortunate for the two chances we had and it's just a shame we didn't go to a World Series for Cub fans.
I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special.
I think sometimes Hall of Famers might get labeled as guys who aren't suited for a coaching job or to be back at the Major League level.
