spring play careers
He said I couldn't do (off the field) what I did when I was 23 or 24, and I paid attention to him. Damn it, I got a trainer and went to spring training in the best shape of my career and in 1985 had the best season I ever had and we won the World Series. Before that, I didn't know how long I was going to play. That talk with Mr. Fogelman was the most inspiring talk I ever had with anyone.
baseball people parks
If anyone stays away (after the 1981 strike), my response is this - those people had no right to ever come to the park, because they aren't true baseball fans.
hero trying winner
Don't try to be a hero. Try to be a winner.
league ifs
If I was going to make one rule change, I would bring the DH to the National League.
health errors chance
If I stay healthy, I have a chance to collect 3,000 hits and 1,000 errors.
struggle league people
Not many people get to the major leagues and succeed right away. There are some struggles. Everyone seems to struggle.
winning years games
Even today, if the Royals win six games all year, if they're going to go 6-156, I hope they beat the Yankees six times.
average mad waiting
I used to be a mad hitter. And then I learned the longer you wait out the ball, the better you see it. And the better you see it, the harder you hit it. And the harder you hit it, the higher your average is going to be. And the higher your average is, the more money you're going to make.
running home names
Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.
golf swimming house
I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool.
basketball thinking games
I don't think I can play any other way but all out . . . I enjoy the game so much because I'm putting so much into it.
softball sports motivation
If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing you grandmother with her teeth out.
script soap stay
This will be a soap opera, with no one writing the script - stay tuned.
fine gone hope line orleans people proud somewhat sure
This whole thing is somewhat bittersweet. I've got a fine line to walk. I want to be enthusiastic to the people here and let them know I'm proud and that we're going to make this thing work. I also want to make sure that people in New Orleans have hope because they've gone through a lot.
