I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am.
It was all about doing things right. If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen. That's what I loved most about the game, how a ground out to second with a man on second and nobody out was a great thing. In my day, if a guy came to spring training 20 pounds heavier than what he left, he was considered out of shape and was probably in trouble. He'd be under a microscope and the first time he couldn't beat out a base hit or missed a fly ball, he was probably shipped out. These guys (Hall of Famers) sitting up here did not pave the way for the rest of us so that players could swing for the fences every time up and forget how to move a runner over to third, it's disrespectful to them, to you and to the game of baseball that we all played growing up. Respect.
No player in baseball history worked harder, suffered more, or did it better than Andre Dawson. He's the best I've ever seen.
In baseball, there's always the next day.
Baseball wasn't easy for me.
