“I can’t take another day of this.”

Most teams today don’t take outfield practice.

One reason outfielders don’t have stronger arms might be they don’t practice as much as we did.

The most relaxing thing i do, hang halfway out a 3rd floor window, and look at rocks if i fall out.

This time you’ve dug yourself an anchor too heavy to move ahead with.

I’ll never forget that first night with the team. Going to the ballpark on the bus was the hardest 30 minutes of my life.

I was very, very shocked about Cooperstown.

I see the other players dressing different every day. I’ve got only one suit and I keep wearing it over and over. I’m really embarrassed.

Switching to the outfield was the best break I ever got.

I had to walk down that aisle between all the players. I really didn’t know too much about the Detroit Tigers at that time.

I thought my chances were fairly good, but I tried to stay low key about it, not too high and not too low. That was the way I played, too.

Another reason is baseball has to compete with other sports now – basketball, football, soccer – for the better athletes that might have more skills and stronger arms.

You’ve got to get good habits of working hard so that when that play comes up during the regular season that you’re able to complete it and do it the right way.

He signed as a shortstop. He could play the outfield, of course, and third base and first, too. He was a tremendous athlete. Mickey Mantle was unbelievable, too.

Well maybe i’ll fall hard, something tough to break me, something sharp to rip into my insides and bleed out all that pain.

All of a sudden I’m in the major leagues and we’re traveling from town to town.

As the days went on, I didn’t mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them.

Whereas if I wrote a movie script, chances are better than even that I’d just be another guy in L.A. with a movie script in his drawer.

Don’t bring your sand toys to the park. That’s another bad move. Because I go to the park, and I’m on the Vicodin and a little weed too – let’s face it – and I go in there, and my wife’s like.

Don’t be just another guy going down the street and going nowhere.

I had to do another couple of albums about this idiot. Then I had to play in front of 37 people. It was horrible. I was crying. I was freaked out.

I don’t think the discus will ever attract any interest until they let us start throwing them at one another.

Never break another man’s rice bowl.

It takes loneliness in oneself to recognize it in another.

The art of life is loving and listening to one another.
