The strike zone should be what the rule book says it is and not a personal idiosyncrasy.

I think the four major leagues ought to set up a joint commission - say, of retired judges - to rule on athletes who are accused of doing bad things away from the game. Then each league would retain its independence in determining what penalties their players should get for infractions committed within the sport.

Every now and then, I get a free ticket from someone, and I look at the price, and it says $800, and I'm thinking, 'A thousand dollars to see,' I said, 'There's no ballgame in the world worth that kind of money,' and yet the attendance for sports is more than it ever has been.

All of our strikeouts were really on pitches out of the strike zone.

I didn't get over 1300 walks without knowing the strike zone.

Our bullpen has been great. We've been pounding the strike zone.
