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.
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.
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.

A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that.

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.

My problems are all behind me!
father mean knowing
My father cared a lot about me, but he never gave me the satisfaction of really knowing it. Hitting .390 wasn't enough for him. Nothing seemed to be. He was not trying to be mean. He was just seeing to it that I never got self-satisfied, that I worked hard to get the most out of what I had.
