It would mean a lot to me to get into the Hall of Fame, to be grouped with some of the greatest players in history.

I thought the Hall of Fame was for superstars, not just average players like me.

I grew up as a sports fan, and I know that a hall of fame is very different than an award for being the best of the year. It's a nod to the longevity of our accomplishment.

I'm not defined by baseball. I'd love for the Hall of Fame to happen, but if it doesn't, my life won't change. I'll still be coaching my boy's games.

I think every player wants to be acknowledged for what they have done. I think every player eligible for the Hall Of Fame feels that the ultimate validation is enshrinement.

The players make the manager, it's never the other way.

Of course managers win ball games.

The greatest manager has a knack for making ballplayers think they are better than they think they are.

I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.
