If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.

Unless you give it all you've got, there isn't any sense in playing.

I love to play this game of baseball. I love putting on the uniform.

When a pitcher's throwing a spitball, don't worry and don't complain, just hit the dry side like I do.

I have a darn good job, but please don't ask me what I do.

I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.

I understand business and understand the ugly face of baseball, which is the business part of baseball.

Some other things I don't miss: the media and the pressure of just being asked to do, and being asked questions every day.

Some of the things I've done are really special.

I doubt that I will get involved with politics. That's something I don't have in me.

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

I wasn't playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing.

My first ball I ever got from a big-league player I actually got to purchase in Dodger Stadium in a silent auction, was Reggie Jackson.

I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

Before, if I wasn't in baseball, I wanted to become a doctor.

If you want to follow some good steps, it would Proverbs, all over.

All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win.

Georgie Porgie, he might buy the whole league, but he doesn't have enough money to buy fear to put in my heart.
