baseball dream jesus
The Baseball Hall of Fame is something every player dreams about, but being a member of God's Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement of all. God offers each of us the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. When we accept God's gift of salvation, our name is written in the Book of Life, guaranteeing us a place in heaven forever. I made that decision during spring training in 1973, asking Jesus to come into my heart as Lord and Savior.

kids thinking winning
That's what every young kid thinks about when they first put on a uniform - is to play in the Major League and then, ultimately, play in a World Series. To me, that was the ultimate, winning in '86.
dream grateful two
I'll always be grateful for the dream season of 1986. In a corner of my mind I will stand forever with my bat cocked, waiting for the two-one pitch from Calvin Schiraldi.
couple pain hands
It is a grueling position (catching). My knees will tell you that. I've had nine knee surgeries. I've had a couple of broken thumbs, one on each hand. I can look back at it and say it's worth it to be enshrined in Cooperstown. I don't have any pain in my knees right now.

good imagine level player talent winning
At this level it's all about player development, but you still want to win. I can't imagine this team, with the talent we have here, not winning games. We have a good nucleus.
dead games gets great gutter headed himself hope life roger won
Absolutely, like Roger Clemens. He already should've won 300 games and be headed to Cooperstown, ... It saddens me. Doc's a great guy. I hope he gets his life straightened out. If he doesn't, he'll find himself dead in a gutter one day.
caliber comments exciting manager mound says watch
It's exciting to see that caliber of pitcher, to watch him on the mound like that. It says a lot when you're getting comments from the opposing manager that he's not going to be around long.
bad fact provide taxed worst
It's a really bad idea. To me, the worst part is the fact we are going to be taxed to provide something we are mandated to do.
couple figure good job maybe next opportunity pay year
I figure I'll give it a couple of years. I know I have to pay some dues. ... Who knows, if I do a good job this year in St. Lucie, maybe an opportunity will come next year.
again agree bottom continue economists far growing health hospitals inadequate margin mark number order percent pressures remain stagnant turning uninsured
Health economists agree that not-for-profit hospitals need to be turning between a 4 to 6 percent margin in order to remain competitive and viable. We continue to be far from that mark here in New Jersey. Once again a confluence of pressures ranging from inadequate payments from governmental payers to a growing number of uninsured all contributed to the stagnant bottom lines.
