I love books about treks and journeys into the unknown.
I like beans. Lentils are beans, right? I love beans and rice.
I love the fans, I love the game of baseball, and I love Cincinnati baseball.
There are umpires, and there are those who hold the title.
Sportswriters. They were all my friends. They were racetrack guys and so was I.
Nobody feels any worse than I do about losing.
The main thing I wanted was to manage.
That's our race. That's our playoffs.
We've always been able to bounce back.
Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.
If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me.
I keep my eyes clear and I hit 'em where they ain't.
Simple pleasures were all the pleasures that I knew as a child.
Either you have the ability to hit or not. But I also think you have to work at it.
You must appreciate beauty for it to endure.
One must always forgive another's passion.
In families, there are no crimes beyond forgiveness.
But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.
The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.
