I'm Just Like Everybody Else. I Have

When People Ask Me, "who Was The Toughest Pitcher You Ever Faced?", I Have To Say That There Has Never Been A Pitcher Who Over-impressed Me. That's Not Meant To Be A Bragging Statement. It's Just That I Get Up For Good Pitchers.

People Say I Don't Have Great Tools. They Say That I Can't Throw Like Ellis Valentine Or Run Like Tim Raines Or Hit With Power Like Mike Schmidt. Who Can? I Make Up For It In Other Ways, By Putting Out A Little Bit More. That's My Theory, To Go Through Life Hustling. In The Big Leagues, Hustle Usually Means Being In The Right Place At The Right Time. It Means Backing Up A Base. It Means Backing Up Your Teammate. It Means Taking That Headfirst Slide. It Means Doing Everything You Can Do To Win A Baseball Game.

There Is An Old Saying That Money Can't Buy Happiness. If It Could, I Would Buy Myself Four Hits Every Game.

You Know, Baseball's Not Stupid. Baseball Does What The Fans Want, Usually.

I Bet On The Game Of Baseball And I Bet On My Team, Even The Mistakes I Made, I Have To Take A Different Look At Someone Betting Against Their Own Team... That's Throwing The Game.
