My goal is to play hard and give the city a chance for a championship.

I don't miss playing for the Yankees. I miss my friends, my teammates.

The Mets just had their first .500-or-better April since July of 1992.

I expect to win. I've never been content with anything I've ever done.

You know, this game's not very much fun when you're only hitting .247.

I was brought up with the 3 Ds: Determination, Discipline and Da Lord.

It's like obituaries, when you die they finally give you good reviews.

If you approach Billy Martin right, he's Okay. I avoid him altogether.

Anytime you do something different, a lot of attention gets put on it.

The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

Baseball is all I ever wanted. I could eat, sleep, and dream baseball.

I grew up on the streets of Baltimore, a city I love to this very day.

He (Joe Morgan) knew when something needed to be done, and he'd do it.

Never assume the other guy will never do something you would never do.

As long as the team is pulling together, I’m happy to be a part of it.

I hate the word 'potential'-potential means you haven't gotten it done.

My dad taught me how to play. He was a great amateur player in Curacao.

I hit an inside-the-park home run! I beat it out! Can you believe that?

If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.

They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.

I felt like in Tampa Bay a lot of people thought we were overachieving.

I didn't think I'd be getting a contract at 34. That wasn't in my mind.

So to get to play for the Yankees was really exciting. Really exciting.

When I gave up a grand slam to Pete LaCock, I knew it was time to quit.

The three most important pitches I threw in my life were all fastballs.

If you're not having fun in baseball, you miss the point of everything.

I'll never take for granted the opportunity to put on a Dodger uniform.

The Steph Currys, the Jordan Spieths, those guys are exciting to watch.

I feel kind of sorry for those kids who just play one sport growing up.

Anyone who loves the concept of Zero Harm obviously has nothing to love

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

Me and Paul (Dean) will probably win forty games (they won forty-nine).

My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad.

Today's accent may be on youth, but the stress is still on the parents.

He's an honest man - you could shoot craps with him over the telephone.

I like mellow music. I like some jazz. But I'm not a big hard rock guy.

I've only read two books in my life: Baseball Sparkplug and Love Story.

Everybody can have one great year. I've got to prove I can do it again.

Many people have this image of me. For a long time, I cared about that.

You might want to put this in the back of your craw and think about it.

That big guy, Winfield, at 6'6", can do things only a small man can do.

On the mound is Randy Jones, the left-hander with the Karl Marx hairdo.

I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I'll be here for a long time.

But I dig myself, and especially if my wife digs me, I dig myself more.

Running more doesn't do you any good. You've got to be successful more.

I'm pretty sure when I need a comma; I'm not so sure about a semicolon.

Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

All my life in professional baseball, people said 'He could be better.'

I don't wait for people to give me respect. I always give them respect.
