I'll always be grateful for the dream season of 1986. In a corner of my mind I will stand forever with my bat cocked, waiting for the two-one pitch from Calvin Schiraldi.

Load up your mind with pictures capturing your preferred tomorrow. Put the remembrances of the past in a place where they won't block your view.

Sometimes you just have to play in pain.

That's what every young kid thinks about when they first put on a uniform - is to play in the Major League and then, ultimately, play in a World Series. To me, that was the ultimate, winning in '86.

I would love to get back to the big leagues as a coach, possibly a manager. I would love that opportunity.

I like mellow music. I like some jazz. But I'm not a big hard rock guy.

My desires are simply I love to teach, I love to be in uniform, I love to throw batting practice, I love to be with the kids.

Theres a place in my heart for every team I played on.

To be 49 years old now and still be called The Kid, that's kind of special.

The only thing on my mind now is getting that World Series ring.

We have the keys to open the Heavens door

My mother phones daily to ask "Did you just try to reach me?" When I reply no she adds "So if you're not too busy call me while I'm still alive " . . . and hangs up.

If I were the commissioner of all sports media I would issue an immediate ban on three-person announcing teams on telecasts of live sporting events. In almost all cases three is one voice too many.

I only used my whole life one perfume, and it's Cartier's Les Must.

We can't wait around for Superman to come in here and save the town, save the team. It's up to us to get it done.

One of the differences between boy gangs and girl gangs is for girls it's much more relational and much less violent.

I've lived too long and I've lived too well.

Precise forecasts masquerade as accurate ones.

I always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It's hard to keep up.

Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
