Luck is the great stabilizer in baseball.

I question myself every day. That’s what I still find motivating about this. I don’t have the answers, I don’t pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe...

Competition helps people figure it out.

I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I’ve just got to believe that we’re going to be all right. I’ve got to...

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.

If you want to really know what your friends and family think of you die broke, and then see who shows up for the funeral.

If you do things with a certain type of result and cause a certain type of reaction or effect, then you increase your market value. It’s very much a competition for the entertainment dollar, and...

When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.

In the beginning I used to make one terrible play a game. Then I got so I’d make one a week and finally I’d pull a bad one about once a month. Now, I’m trying...

Our students learn more in 30 days than one could learn in 30 years without our training. To really maximize your potential as an umpire, you need to get a solid foundation as soon as...

All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.

I even believe if you’re killing a team, you shouldn’t stop. You should respect your opponents enough to play 100 percent the whole time. And by the same token, if you’re getting killed by the...

There were pretty rigid rules and real traditional music. Traditional choreography. It’s gradually gotten more free, and the rules have changed.

For years, reality has been nipping at the heels of satire. Now, it’s finally caught up. I don’t need to make this stuff up.

Well, you know, I’ve bonded with a lot of people over the years, you know. We played the same tournaments year after year and we go back to the same place and many times the...

You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.

England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.

It was funny, when I thought of it afterward, how Ruth and Gehrig looked as they stood there. The Babe must have been waiting for me to get the ball up a little so he...

Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.

It took me a few years to realize that throwing harder wasn’t always better.
