“All pitchers are liars or crybabies.”

If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer.

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

In baseball, you don’t know nothing.

You can’t win all the time. There are guys out there who are better than you.

A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.

Records and achievements are made to be broken.

I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.

If I didn’t wake up I’d still be sleeping.

How can a you hit and think at the same time?

I always got nervous the nights we played in the World Series. First pitch, I was nervous. Then after that, forget it; I’d start playing.

I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.

Whatever you do, you should do it with feeling.

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

If you don’t set goals, you can’t regret not reaching them.

Baseball is just my job.

I grew up playing everything from rugby, football, baseball, volleyball, bike races and boxing. I tried martial arts, loved to ride horses and I’m the youngest of three brothers, so it was a fiercely competitive family.

I don’t know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.

I feel my time in baseball has come and gone. I feel like I had a great career. I had a lot of fun and have a lot of great memories. At one point in time, I’ll be able to tell it all. Right now that’s in the past. I see things differently. I more want to help.

I was a momma’s boy. I didn’t get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.

Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.

A good umpire is the umpire you don’t even notice
