When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.

The two most important things in my life were academics and sports. I had to do my schoolwork first.

I don't wish that I was playing football. I love baseball, and the way I play is like it's my last day ever playing it. I do like football, but you've got to respect that it's not like baseball.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.

I don't regret anything I've ever done. I only wish I could have done more.

There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.

There was never anything I wanted to do more than play tennis. Never once walked out there and thought, 'I wish I was doing something else.' Not once.

All I want to do is play baseball.
