You have to retire before you can make the Hall of Fame.

I want to be part of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, but I don't want to be part of the kind of Hall of Fame that's based on voters' beliefs and assumptions.

There are some people that probably should be in the Hall of Fame, but they're not for some reason.

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 would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame.

We have about 4 million people who have voted for who they want to see in the Hall of Fame. There are some people they put down that are pretty good players. You have Ray Guy, Jim Plunkett, Lester Hayes and Donnie Shell.

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

But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

I'm not really a popular fan of the whole Hall of Fame thing. I've had a lot of ups and downs, and I don't feel deserving a lot of times.

I don't think there should be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, period.
