Just because I made it look easy doesn't mean that it was and you don't work hard and become a Hall of Famer without working day in and day out.

That's not what I want to be known as - a guy who doesn't want to play and is moody.

You're on an island when you're injured. Nobody understands what you're going through. And everybody's different. Some people heal quicker than others.

To win a World Series, the whole team has to be hot, everything has to go your way.

I enjoy photography. It's a lot of fun. It keeps me on my P's and Q's and, when you think about it, most people think photography is just going to a game. But you start to think, dang, that would be a good picture. Or you're driving along and see something and think, 'that would be nice.'

I put up O.K. numbers - not Bugs Bunny-style numbers like some other guys - but O.K. numbers.

The two misconceptions of me are I didn't work hard, and that everything I made it look easy.

My dad had a 'fro, and I didn't. So I wore his hat and it always hit me in the face, so I just turned it around and it just stuck. It wasn't like I was trying to be a tough guy or change the way that baseball is played. It was just that my dad wore a size 7 1/2, and I had a 6 1/4. It was just too big.

If I can get on base once or twice a game, steal a bag, do something, then I'm happy.
