general guy heard manager sit sitting talking time
Every time I sit with our general manager at a baseball game, and there's number-cruncher and statistician guy - I'm sitting around - they start talking about stuff, and I say, 'What's that? I've never heard of that one before.'
enjoy game passion putting
I don't think I can play any other way but all out. I enjoy the game so much because I'm putting so much into it.
california came extra felt friday games late lead night september seven team three town won
But that's the kind of team we were that year. We were seven games out at the All-Star break. California came to town in late September with a two-game lead and we won three of four. We won every game we had to win. We clinched on a Friday night in extra innings. We felt unbeatable.
basketball thinking games
I don't think I can play any other way but all out . . . I enjoy the game so much because I'm putting so much into it.
running home names
Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.
winning years games
Even today, if the Royals win six games all year, if they're going to go 6-156, I hope they beat the Yankees six times.
health errors chance
If I stay healthy, I have a chance to collect 3,000 hits and 1,000 errors.
baseball people parks
If anyone stays away (after the 1981 strike), my response is this - those people had no right to ever come to the park, because they aren't true baseball fans.
firsts thirds designated-hitter
Old third basemen become first basemen, and old first basemen become designated hitters.
guarantees-that president wade
A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that.
baseball book two
I've only read two books in my life: Baseball Sparkplug and Love Story.
baseball years deserve-better
I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.

I was scared everyday I put on the uniform.
