I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn't take any ability to hustle.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

I didn't get over 1300 walks without knowing the strike zone.

This journey started about 42 years ago in a little town of Brunswick, Georgia.

Then there's Johnny Pesky, hit me countless number of ground balls and improved my fielding so much.

My God... What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don't make the playoffs?

Looking back on those days and little leaguer, the Hall of Fame is not even a blinking star, but through baseball travels and moving up the ladder, that star begins to flicker.

Dinner is a cacophonous exercise of holy sanctification.

That’s why it’s difficult to write about your own life. Any distortion feels like a betrayal.

Do not lose hope - what you seek will be found.

Should one point out that from ancient times decline in courage has been considered the beginning of the end?

Only the disenfranchised can party with abandon.

The only thing I can't stand is discomfort.

I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.

The conservative values that are emerging, it may not effect architecture immediately but it will effect society and that's what worries me.
