With the money I'm making, I should be playing two positions.

I've been wrong about six times as far as that goes. Now I am hoping they do something, but I sure am not optimistic. I am less optimistic as every month goes by.

They know and you know and I know that if there's another strike, the people will come back. They always have and they always will.

I think, first of all, you have to understand I think I have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Selig, ... I do. It just took me a long time to meet him. I met him in Atlanta [at the 1999 World Series when Selig lifted the ban so Rose could appear with the All-Century Team], first time. I believe he is a fair man.

I made a big mistake. I was wrong. But I can't change it. I just wish people would understand and give me a second chance. I won't need a third chance.

I don't know what he did the last two years. All I know is the guy can hit.
