It’s the part of baseball that (stinks). You can form some great friendships with teammates, and in an instant, they’re gone.

In baseball, I was a pitcher, which I hated because there was no action there.

We try to take it from one at-bat to the next, ya know it’s easier said than done, but all put together it looks good in the end.

If over time the World Baseball Classic works the way we hope it will, I think the next time there is a discussion it will be the IOC asking us to come back.

That’s a very good question. Major League Baseball has to make it clear what it wants to do. They’re the ones on the spot.

You want to go out like baseball guys get to do the next night. But you have to wait the whole week, and that’s no fun.

It was baseball hell in Colorado. For some strange reason, we weren’t getting it done. Eventually, it’s got to change. The big thing is we’ve got to stay positive.

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

Pitching and defense has been the name of the game in baseball forever. I don’t care what level you’re playing at. My philosophy since I started managing has been that, before you can look at...

I probably haven’t faced a lineup like them, but for me, I’m not scared of anybody. They’re baseball players just like I am. They put their unis on the same way I do. It’s about...

In 2002, in this country, there was an observation that for the first time in America, more kids were actively pursuing skateboarding than baseball.

Casey knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven’t even caught on to yet.

This is a sad day for the Minnesota Twins, Major League Baseball and baseball fans everywhere. Eloise and I loved Kirby deeply. Kirby’s impact on the Twins organization, State of Minnesota and Upper Midwest is...

I have a clean-shaven baseball card from 1979.
