All I can do is go out and play as great as I know how. I'm a professional. I didn't come here to just go through the motions, even when you're out of the playoff chase. |
Can you all just do me one favor? Don't take life for granted, because tomorrow isn't promised to any one of us. |
I don't work with the younger players. That's the manager's department. What I can do is go out and play as hard as I can. |
I was told I would never make it because I'm too short. Well, I'm still too short. ... It doesn't matter what your height is, it's what's in your heart. |
I'm retired, man. I'm loving it. Just being a bum. I kind of like it. |
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It may be cloudy in my right eye, but the sun is shining very brightly in my left eye. And just think how the sun has shined, right up to the doors of this great hall, the shrine for the greatest game in the world and the greatest players in the world ? baseball. |
Man, see, you should have picked up that bat and baseball and learned to play the game when we were trying to teach you. You ain't going to make no money in journalism. |
Man, you make me feel old. |
Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. |
Yeah, I've been here, man. Where these guys are, I've been there. I guess it comes to a point in your career where it feels good for me to come back, to give something back like this. |
