"I don't want to be remembered as a great baseball player. I want to be remembered as a man who fought for what he believed in."

"The only way to make a difference is to stand up for what you believe in."

"Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants to quit when he's ahead."

"I'm not a politician, I'm a baseball player."

"I'm not out to make friends, I'm out to get my job done."
