kids years pleasure
He really just wanted to go about his business. I would put Eddie Murray in the same category as Andre Dawson. He would like to kid around with the press and (be surly), but he was a total professional. I see why he is a Hall of Famer. I am just glad I had the pleasure of playing for Eddie (Murray) for one year.

stars years games
Johnny Bench befriended me my first year in the big leagues. He took me under his wing during my first All-Star Game and we've been friends ever since. He's one guy I've tried to emulate and I'll always compare myself to Johnny (Bench).

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.
That was Jeff's escape. But without Shane . . .

field replace
I tried the broadcasting thing, the coaching thing, but I'll never replace the competitive feeling of being out on the field when we were players.
beat call depression maybe phone saved somebody start tells
When somebody tells you that something could have been done, that maybe a phone call to 911 could have saved him, that's when you start to beat yourself up. I think that's when the depression set in more than anything.
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.
