There’s a great deal of love for one another on this club. Perhaps we’re living in Camelot.

I learned a valuable life lesson that summer. You should find something in life that you really enjoy and seriously consider making that your life’s work.

I want to be able to look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d...

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

I never staged a coup. They picked me up. Like I say, they forced me to become premier, maybe hoping that by that way, they send me to the electric chair.

And then when I went to stay in ’68, I can honestly say that I was not focused on my career and on what it took to be a major league pitcher and to be...

My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.

I got a call this morning, and it was from Nancy Kerrigan, wishing me luck. She wished me luck and sent me all her good wishes.

Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It’s no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It’s a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

Your role changes as coaches ask you to increase your role or diminish it. And depending on how you look at it, either can be a positive.

I want to be a good person and live my life the right way, keeping in mind that there might be a little kid who’s watching what I do.

Luck is the great stabilizer in baseball.

To exercise at or near capacity is the best way I know of reaching a true introspective state. If you do it right, it can open all kinds of inner doors.

I don’t want to get into anything that would only be halfway. If we’re going to commit to it, then we’re going to commit to it all the way.

I want to wait to have sex until I’m married.

Being champion is all well and good, but you can’t eat a crown.

I thought Paulie could jump. I know he’s not fleet of foot, but at least have some hops. I guess we know who is not going to win a gold glove. I was trying to...

We played one game at home, and Frank Robinson was the big story because he was the first black manager and he hit a home run in that game.

Practice, work hard, and give it everything you have.

Every day of the year where the water is 76, day and night, and the waves roll high, I take my sled, without runners, and coast down the face of the big waves that roll...

Both sides know the last election was just the beginning of the next election. It’s clear there has been no attempt to have any kind of getting along.

Professional sports is a business.

If you want to talk to me, you’ll have to put out that cigarette.

I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won’t say anything a dignified man won’t say.

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 could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m.

We all want to thank Emmitt for allowing us to enjoy every yard.

My parents played a very big role in my life and as growing up as the last of six children I didn’t realize the influence that my parents had on me.

I believe that good things come to those who work.

To play in the men’s tournaments I have to keep getting stronger and get more distance.

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.

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...

Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn’t mean I’m naughty.

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

This is a pretty good game and a pretty swell way to make a living. The conditions in the majors are fine and the money is good.

Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes.

When they have their hands on their knees, that’s when they’re tired.

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...

I’m on the Zoloft to keep from killing y’all.

I’m a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.

College was especially sweet because of the positive, hopeful atmosphere of a college campus.
