If I could even do that [playing] in a softball league, I would never miss anything about baseball.

I play to lift a city, and raise a banner.

When I was playing, my wife and kids would go on the road with me, and we would go to different lunch spots that we saw on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

Just because you're big doesn't mean you can't be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn't mean you're going to have a 12-pack.

You don't need to have a perfect ending to be happy.

Obviously, I think this [162 games a year four times] caused my early retirement, but I couldn't do it any other way. Just for the record, I never asked for any of the days off in my career.

Coming up through high school, coaches would tell me not to swing so hard. It's the only way I know. It just happens.

If there's a man on second, I'm trying to get him in with a base hit. The doubles and homers will come. Sooner or later they'll go out naturally. I'm just trying not to do too much.

Miguel and Justin, the two biggest guys on the team, welcomed me right away and once the cool kids in school like you, it's easy to get along.

A lot of people probably say I'm stupid, and they're probably right, because there are people who take days off who are still in the league, and I'm not.

I have nothing left to prove. I've already done enough to my neck.

The people in the streets, we need to come together as one.

You scared of that pip-squeak? Dude, you got a lot to learn. Freakin' Newbies.

All the wars of the world, all the Caesars, have not the staying power of a lily in a cottage garden.

A promise is binding in the inverse ratio of the numbers to whom it is made.
