Date of Birth4 May 1941
father mean knowing
My father cared a lot about me, but he never gave me the satisfaction of really knowing it. Hitting .390 wasn't enough for him. Nothing seemed to be. He was not trying to be mean. He was just seeing to it that I never got self-satisfied, that I worked hard to get the most out of what I had.
problem behinds
My problems are all behind me!
baseball running looks
He looks like a greyhound, but he runs like a bus.
team league
American League teams don't bunt very often. National League teams bunt a lot.
baseball blood years
There's nothing like Opening Day. There's nothing like the start of a new season. I started playing baseball when I was seven years old and quit playing when I was 40, so it's kind of in my blood.
believe criticism serious
I am not too serious about anything. I believe you have to enjoy yourself to get the most out of your ability. I can take the criticism with the accolades. Neither affects me.
exercise guy half
I never lifted a weight in my life. Why am I going to do steroids? That's not going to do me any good. We didn't have any weights in our clubhouse. We had one exercise bike and that was for the guy who tweaked his hamstring. And that thing didn't even work half the time.
baseball everyday uniforms
I was scared everyday I put on the uniform.
baseball talking games
Every time I sit with our general manager at a baseball game, and there's number-cruncher and statistician guy - I'm sitting around - they start talking about stuff, and I say, 'What's that? I've never heard of that one before.
baseball years deserve-better
I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.
games support special
I'm a ballplayer. I know how hard the game is... and anybody that makes it in the Hall of Fame, I support. They become a member of our special fraternity.
baseball book two
I've only read two books in my life: Baseball Sparkplug and Love Story.
guarantees-that president wade
A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that.

Old third basemen become first basemen, and old first basemen become designated hitters.
