The frustrating events involving some Jockey Club charges concerning my conduct, which were dropped then re-formed, have dealt a fatal blow to my chances of securing more than a couple of regular rides this year and made my decision inevitable. I'm proud to have ridden winners all over the globe including most of Europe, Barbados, Canada, Hong Kong, India and Singapore.

kids years pleasure
He really just wanted to go about his business. I would put Eddie Murray in the same category as Andre Dawson. He would like to kid around with the press and (be surly), but he was a total professional. I see why he is a Hall of Famer. I am just glad I had the pleasure of playing for Eddie (Murray) for one year.

Theres a place in my heart for every team I played on.
spring kids winning
I got that nickname my first spring training camp with the Expos in 1974. Tim Foli, Ken Singleton and Mike Jorgensen started calling me 'Kid' because I was trying to win every sprint. I was trying to hit every pitch out of the park.

I like mellow music. I like some jazz. But I'm not a big hard rock guy.
successful pie shaving-cream
It's kind of a tradition that you get a rookie, put him in the middle, wrap your arms and legs around him, then douse him with everything you can get a hold of - shaving cream, ketchup, mustard, everything. It's kind of like a pie in the face after a guy is successful.
kids years special
To be 49 years old now and still be called The Kid, that's kind of special.
cutting night knives
I remember many a time, going into someplace like Wrigley Field - where you could cut the humidity with a knife - and playing a doubleheader. I loved to play the game. It didn't matter if it was a doubleheader, or a single game, or a day game after a night game. I wanted to play.
games play nagging
There were probably a few games I played where I should not have played, because of some nagging injuries or something. I used to always talk the managers into playing me, because I wanted to play so badly.

I would love to get back to the big leagues as a coach, possibly a manager. I would love that opportunity.

My desires are simply I love to teach, I love to be in uniform, I love to throw batting practice, I love to be with the kids.

The only thing on my mind now is getting that World Series ring.
