It's a wonderful feeling being a bridge to the past and unite generations.

It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.

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

That really is my trademark. Day to day, week in, week out. If something happens and the crowd roars, I shut up.

One of my favorite expressions ever uttered by a player is Roy Campanella's line about how, in order to be a major-league player, you have to have a lot of little boy in you.
