The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.

I represent both the underdog and the overdog in our society.

Being a superstar... can make life very difficult, difficult to grow. So I like to visit with my friends, listen to some fine music, drink some good wine, perhaps take a ride in the country in a fine car, or... just walk along the beach.

I couldn't accept the racial epithets in reference to players like Elliott Maddox or Billy Sample.

Lee May's about the same age as me; he's got about the same stats. So how come he's making about one-eighty, two hundred thousand, and I'm the best damn paid player in the game? I'll tell you why: Because I put the meat in the seats!
