I was brought into situations God couldn't get out of, and I got out of them.

Some of my greatest memories were on a little league field. We didn't even have any uniforms.

I'd like to be remembered for the way I went about doing my job.

In my opinion, the best setup guys now have a tougher job than the closers. They pitch more innings, inherit more runners.

Every life lesson is on that baseball field.

I played for nine different teams throughout my 22-year major league career and I loved every moment of every team.

Hitters never showed me up, as hard as I threw. And I was pretty mean out on the mound.

I think that Jim Rice should be in the Hall of Fame. I think that Craig Nettles should be in the Hall of Fame and he didn't even get a sniff.

If your child's gonna be a star it's going to happen and just let it happen.

There is nobody that wants to win more than George Steinbrenner.

When I played, Old-Timers Day was my favorite day of the whole season, because I got to share a locker with one of the great Yankees... It was an out-of-body experience.

I'm backing down now. I really do love you. That's why I'm doing this.

When you love your work, it works better.

A father is a reality-concealing machine, a machine for dishing up lies to kids, and that isn't even the worst of it: secretly he believes that he represents reality.

When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.

My arthritic pinkies are already starting to ache just thinking about ||||=.

I suppose it's part of being a good politician to be able to spot the most important men in any group without outside assistance.

I'd rather buy something that is relatively depressed than something that is relatively high.

I can zero in on subtle things because I'm holding the camera.

If Darwin could get into a submarine and see what I've seen, thousand of feet beneath the ocean, I am just confident that he would be inspired to sit down and start writing all over again.

My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
