When we played, World Series checks meant something. Now all they do is screw up your taxes.

I hate all hitters. I start a game mad and I stay that way until it's over.

Some of these guys wear beards to make them look intimidating, but they don't look so tough when they have to deliver the ball. Their abilities and their attitudes don't back up their beards.

My own little rule was two for one. If one of my teammates got knocked down, then I knocked down two on the other team.

When I throw a curve that hangs and it goes for a hit, I want to chew up my glove.

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

The Houston Astros are the youngest team in the National League if you judge by age.

What I'm identifying with is the vision or the idea - whatever was the little nugget that started it.

A fundamental requirement, overriding any other for this job, is an understanding of deafness-what it is and how it affects the educational experience.

The only way to lose weight is to check it as airline baggage.

Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel.

When you fall, never get up without gaining anything. Always find something on the way up. If there are only rocks, grasp one to throw in order to defend yourself.
