I don't want to spend my whole life watching the sun go down behind the left field bleachers.

The key step for an infielder is the first one, to the left or right, but before the ball is hit.

The only thing that matters is what happens on the little hump out in the middle of the field.

The worst thing about being on the road is all you want to do when you get home is to stay home, but as soon as you get back, all the wife wants to do is go out because she's been stuck home all the time you've been stuck on the road.

Most of the umpires, it's amazing: 98 percent of them will not hold a grudge. I always felt a couple of them did. I never wanted to argue with an umpire in my life.

Playing baseball is fun. If I could play, I'd never retire. But managing is work. It's constant decisions of whose feelings you want to hurt all the time.
