What made me sign with the Cardinals? Because they used salesmanship, the personal touch.

Unless you give it all you've got, there isn't any sense in playing.

I love to play this game of baseball. I love putting on the uniform.

The first principle of contract negotiations is don't remind them of what you did in the past - tell them what you're going to do in the future.

Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it's not the size of the bat that gets home runs - it's the speed with which you can swing it.

The key to hitting for high average is to relax, concentrate, and don't hit the fly ball to center field.

My youngest son is a writer. He wrote for The District and CSI: NY.

Winning is very important to me. I wouldn't be happy with anything less. And I work towards my goal.

That's what law is: educated guesses at right and wrong.

Life is a balance between rest and movement.

Holiness comes by holy deeds. Not starving flesh of daily needs.

God's reckless grace is our greatest hope.
