I don't think there's a position I couldn't play on this field.

We had to play both ways on the field, so I was offensive center and defensive end.

I've never played, on the field, any other position besides quarterback. Never been on a special team. Never been on defense.

I like to play attacking, like a winger, or an attacking midfielder, so it depends on the coach, where he's looking at me for which position.

I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.

Depending on how we start the season, I can play center or wing... It doesn't matter to me.

The positions I played in football, being a quarterback and a defensive back, you had to kind of have a little independent thinking.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

If I'm played out of position, I'll always give 100%, but everyone knows I would rather play down the middle.

Looking back on those games, I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.
