To the people out there, baseball is a simple sport. But it is complex. It is never easy.

Baseball realizes it's not the only game in town. You have to do these kinds of things to introduce people to baseball.

Tom Cruise only makes one or two film appearances a year. A baseball player can be the hero or the goat one-hundred and sixty-two times a year.

Simple solutions rarely are.

I chose baseball because to me baseball is the best game of all.

And I found out, the other part of it is that I found out and in my desire to life successfully, that baseball fit very well into my life. It's been a great teacher, trainer, mentor and you'll see what I mean in the next few minutes that I have to speak.
