When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.

I love baseball. The game allowed me the influence to impact kids in a positive way. This gives me a chance to talk to some social issues.

Baseball was made for kids, and grown-ups only screw it up.

My little brothers loved baseball. I'm not as big on that as basketball or football, but I understand the game.

I had a great time with baseball growing up. I was lucky to grow up with it and to learn.

Almost all of us growing up have played baseball on some level. It has an inside track with people. It has a unifying effect.

Baseball has been very good to me.

Baseball has been good to me since I quit trying to play it.

Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can't come to the game without music, then they should stay home.

Well, my favorite sport as a kid was clearly baseball.
