player respect umpires
No player or manager has greater respect for the umpires than I do, and I have demonstrated that over the years.
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.
baseball player games
No one ever asked what was my relationship with Bart Giamatti. We used to talk about baseball a lot as a player and a commissioner, just talk about the game, what could we do to help the game, where's the game going, he was pretty good.
sports player leave-me-alone
Some players you pat their butts, some players you kick their butts, some players you leave alone.
anyone appealing arms players stay
Baseball and the players association have rules. If you stay within the rules - which say that you can play while you're appealing - I don't see what anyone would be in arms about.
false hope
I think amphetamines, if I'm not mistaken, are something that's going to give you something like false hope.
change mistakes people understand
I think people understand that I understand I made some mistakes and I can?t change them,
legal watch
I still gamble, but it's all legal. I own horses, and I go to watch my horse. I don't go daily.
good seven
I look at the records, and you don't win the Cy Young seven times or the MVP without being a good player.
batting runway
In the old days, you know, they didn't have batting cages. And in most ball parks, they only had one runway to the dugout.
except size
I know everything about Ty Cobb except the size of his hat.
teams time
Any time you've got big teams winning, you've got big stars.
guy home knocking people second took yelling
When people think of me, they think about me knocking catchers down and knocking second basemen down and yelling at pitchers. But when I took the spikes off after the game, I was a nice guy when I went home.
alone anderson kick leave pat taught three time ways
Sparky Anderson taught me this a long time ago: 'There's three ways you can treat a person. You can pat 'em on the butt, you can kick 'em in the butt, or you can leave 'em alone.'
