If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If they play dirty, then you play dirty.
When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.
After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.
Every time I step onto the field, whether people like it or not, I'm not trying to play dirty - I'm just playing tough.
I just love putting on the uniform; it's what I have done since I was 6 or 7 years old. It's the life I know. If I didn't love the life of baseball, I wouldn't work out like I do every winter.
I'd always have grease in at least two places, in case the umpires would ask me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn't be professional.
Donning a glove for a backyard toss, or watching a ball game, or just reflecting upon our baseball days, we are players again, forever young.
You can't be afraid to make errors! You can't be afraid to be naked before the crowd, because no one can ever master the game of baseball, or conquer it. You can only challenge it.
I've done literally everything there is to do on a baseball field as a pitcher.
In baseball, you pack your uniform in the clubhouse after a ball game, and you see it hanging up in your locker when you get to your next city.
