Major League Baseball has prostate awareness for two weeks leading up to Father's Day, and I want to get involved in that.
I think three-to-five years ahead minimum. I have a short-term plan, a five-year plan and a decade plan.
I always try to act as though there is a little boy or a little girl around, and I try never to do anything that would give them a bad example.
We are fortunate and blessed to have a partner of Harvey Schiller's stature, who shares our vision for the future of the Dodgers, the city of Los Angeles and our great baseball fans throughout the world.
I can remember when Billy wouldn't say six words. Now you can't get the microphone away from him.
Lasorda's standard reply when some new kid would ask directions to the whirlpool was to tell him to stick his foot in the toilet and flush it.
I did commit adultery, if adultery is having a relationship in a marriage with another woman. I learned from that.
Baseball is the life.
To be perfectly honest, it isn't fair that people have used my personality, and the sacrifices I make because I want to, as an indication that I want to be in a political office.
Through SCP Auctions, the Garvey family will also continue to share our great love for baseball by donating time and dollars to youth baseball programs.
Just from being with my grandmother, my maturity escalated. And now I'm in tune to the needs of people. It was a large responsibility, taking care of a human being.
I have been blessed to win a number of awards and be involved in numerous historical baseball moments over my 20-year career with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
The day I'm able to be debt-free is the day I'm going to be the happiest guy around.
My relationships are based on personal reciprocity. Being a Dodger was a matter of heart, but in the end I felt they didn't want me.
