I told him I wasn't tired. He told me, 'No, but the outfielders sure are.'

If I fell behind I'd just rare back, throw a fastball and say, 'Here it is. Hit it.' A lot of times they did.

There may have been guys who hit more home runs, there may have been guys who played on more World Series teams, there may have been a couple who stole more bases, (but) it's hard for me to believe there has been anybody able to throw better than him. In all phases of the game, along with being durable, what he has done at his age (28), I would argue with anyone that he's the best.

During that time I had to personally release several hundred players, tell several hundred human beings that the dream they'd had since they were little was over, so go clean out your locker. Some of them cry when they get the news, some of them yell, some of them would sit numb in my office like they were in a coma. It's the hardest thing any baseball man has to do: release a player. But I'd always do it personally. You have to be a man about it.

They're like sharks. You give them a taste of blood, they come after you.

I don't sit there and watch the clock. If you'll notice, I never wear a watch on the field. That's what's great about baseball: there's no time limit. You can be 25,000 runs behind, but you can keep hitting.

I was just 19 years old and had been in high school the year before. There I was facing Henry Aaron and Eddie Mathews and Felipe Alou and Joe Torre and Rico Carty. It was very intimidating. A couple years prior to that, I'd had all their baseball cards and here I was on the mound facing them.
