baseball games guy
What's the game coming to? Evidently the guys making all these rules never played the game of baseball.
uniforms retired stills
Am I still in uniform? Then I ain't retired.
dog get-well media
I haven't missed a game in two-and-a-half years. I go to the park as sick as a dog and, when I see my uniform hanging there, I get well right now. Then I see some of you guys (media) and I get sick again.
thinking concentration ability
Concentration is that ability to not think about anything.
baseball damn damn-things
I owe baseball. Baseball don't owe me a damn thing.
white guy speed
I'm not bad (his speed). I'm no Joe Morgan, but I'm pretty good for a white guy.
rose watches benches
I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.
fun games four
Pressure? Well it ain't hitting in forty-four straight games, because I done that and it was fun. The playoffs are pressure.
player bats records
When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.
league brooks higher
Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league.
people bragging get-up
When people ask me, "Who was the toughest pitcher you ever faced?", I have to say that there has never been a pitcher who over-impressed me. That's not meant to be a bragging statement. It's just that I get up for good pitchers.
team winning thinking
I don't like to be compared to Joe Jackson. because Joe Jackson, I think, took money to throw World Series games. Well, I know I bet on my own team to win. There's pretty much a big difference there, but both of us were wrong.
daughter husband son
I've got a 15-year old son and a 10-year old daughter, and if they were going to do one of the following things: be an alcoholic; be a drug offender; beat their wife or husband; or gamble. I hope they would gamble.
sports should-have shut-up
I should have shut up when I went up there and talked to Carlton Fisk.
