I'd like to say this was our worst game. Unfortunately, I can't.
I think there are some players born to play ball.
I can't get into specifics. Someday, hopefully, I'll be able to.
We should have won this one. I think it is a lost opportunity.
I think each one of us has committed to improving.
We have a good team, and I think we'll have a good season this year.
I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
And if I have my choice between a pennant and a triple crown, I'll take the pennant every time.
I'm a fair manager, put it that way. I like to be fair with the players, but there's a time for discipline.
I was not a big Allman Brothers fan but I could relate to that because that is what the flavor of the day was at that time - at least it was like that for me.
Many people have this image of me. For a long time, I cared about that.
We just have to get it going and play hard every time out.
I've had 117 fights and that's the first time I've ever won.
Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.
I've spent more time in hospitals than some fellows ever spend in church.
The thing most people don't understand is that pitching isn't the same every time out.
I played baseball because I could make more money doing that than I could doing anything else.
I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.
Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as a sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball, like the odor that follows an automobile.
I wasn't really a work-conscious type of person. I was a player. I loved to play sports.
Can you be a nicer gentleman, or a better man for your sport or your kids than Joe Paterno?
