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

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.

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

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

The sooner I get into the Hall of Fame the better.

When I started playing the game of baseball, the more I played and the better numbers I got, the more I started thinking about the Hall of Fame. But I never thought I had a chance to be there.

I don't want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.

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