I Was Scared Everyday I Put On

I'm A Ballplayer. I Know How Hard The Game Is... And Anybody That Makes It In The Hall Of Fame, I Support. They Become A Member Of Our Special Fraternity.

He Said I Couldn't Do (off The Field) What I Did When I Was 23 Or 24, And I Paid Attention To Him. Damn It, I Got A Trainer And Went To Spring Training In The Best Shape Of My Career And In 1985 Had The Best Season I Ever Had And We Won The World Series. Before That, I Didn't Know How Long I Was Going To Play. That Talk With Mr. Fogelman Was The Most Inspiring Talk I Ever Had With Anyone.

My Problems Are All Behind Me!

There's Nothing Like Opening Day. There's Nothing Like The Start Of A New Season. I Started Playing Baseball When I Was Seven Years Old And Quit Playing When I Was 40, So It's Kind Of In My Blood.

I Never Lifted A Weight In My Life. Why Am I Going To Do Steroids? That's Not Going To Do Me Any Good. We Didn't Have Any Weights In Our Clubhouse. We Had One Exercise Bike And That Was For The Guy Who Tweaked His Hamstring. And That Thing Didn't Even Work Half The Time.
