I come to win.

In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.

Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.

I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group". Salvation in a can!

Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.

Win any way as long as you can get away with it. Nice guys finish last.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?

You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.

I'm not much but I'm all I have.

Embrace every soul with love.

It's fun to get together and have something good to eat at least once a day. That's what human life is all about-enjoying things.

My mum was a music teacher. I've got three sisters, and we all played instruments when we were kids.

This morning President Obama met with Britain's Prince William in the Oval Office. It was a meeting between a symbolic ruler with no real power and the future king of England.

Can the water in the valleys ever stop and rest? When the water finally reaches the sea, it becomes great waves.

I treat my career like it just happened yesterday.

The wise man in the storm prays God not for safety from danger but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers him[,] not the storm without.
