The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.
From Pete Rose
In the old days, you know, they didn't have batting cages. And in most ball parks, they only had one runway to the dugout.
No one ever asked what was my relationship with Bart Giamatti. We used to talk about baseball a lot as a player and a commissioner, just talk about the game, what could we do to help the game, where's the game going, he was pretty good.
There is no doubt that because I am a switch hitter I have one of the best offensive advantages that a hitter can have.
I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.
I can't remember, I wish I could remember the first time I bet on baseball.
I never gave up as a player, and I won't give up as someone who wants to go to the Hall of Fame, because it's the ultimate goal for a baseball player or a football player or a basketball player.
They haven't given too many gamblers a second chances in the world of baseball.
Baseball and the players association have rules. If you stay within the rules - which say that you can play while you're appealing - I don't see what anyone would be in arms about.
Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don't lose your momentum, and there's one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper.
