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.
I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.
I've only read two books in my life: Baseball Sparkplug and Love Story.
He looks like a greyhound, but he runs like a bus.
I was scared everyday I put on the uniform.
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.
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.
