When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.
truth
When guys do books or stories, all I like to see is the truth.
hall
I'm not sure Mark McGwire was a Hall of Famer to begin with.
clinton hillary wrote
Hillary Clinton wrote a book. She got paid. I don't understand why I can't.
bet picked
I never picked up my phone and called a bookmaker and bet on a baseball game from the clubhouse. Never.
joe kids sports
Can you be a nicer gentleman, or a better man for your sport or your kids than Joe Paterno?
accused guys
I get accused of talking about records. But it's the guys who interview me who ask about them.
cincinnati love
I love the fans, I love the game of baseball, and I love Cincinnati baseball.
dodgers playing yankees
The game of baseball is better when the Dodgers are playing well, just like when the Yankees are playing well, or the Cubs, the Phillies, the big-name teams.
figure gamblers sat seems trying
I actually went to some Gamblers Anonymous classes, and I sat there for three or four of them, and I'm trying to figure out what I have in similarities with these other people, and I could never find anything. It just seems like it wasn't the right place for me.
allowed blocking
A lot of these catchers don't understand that they are blocking the plate and they don't have the ball. You're not allowed to block the plate without the ball.
Some of my biggest friends are big-time horse owners.
bigger hall sports
I don't think there's any honor bigger than going to your Hall of Fame for your sport.
I always liked the defensive part of baseball.
