Please write that they were really, really nice - extremely nice - at Immigration. The court where they swore you in, the people were beautiful.
What can I say--just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy. I can't find a way to beat them at this point.
If you want to follow some good steps, it would Proverbs, all over.
My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.
I'm thankful for not ever taking anything illegal.
I understand business and understand the ugly face of baseball, which is the business part of baseball.
I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.
I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph.
Actually the adrenaline of the game will probably help me out a little bit to regain command and concentration about the things that I have to do.

I like the challenge. I do not like the attention.
Baseball is a game of the soul.
