I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

I see a lot of people who love their jobs. I see some garbage collectors smiling as they go about their work.

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

I love September, especially when we're in it.

You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.

I always said that when it was time to retire, I would know it, and I would just tip my hat to the crowds.

That's where the future lies, in the youth of today.

I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.

Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.
