“In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.”

   “There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens.”

“One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.”

“It isn’t hard to be good from time to time in sports. What is tough, is being good every day.”
