It all looks so easy from the dugout. It's called the 'dirt rule'. The farther you get away from the dirt, the easier this game looks. It looks pretty darned easy from the upper deck. And, like I say, it looks easy to me now. I'm sitting in the dugout, and I see a guy try to pull an outside pitch, he hits a slow ground ball to second base, and it drives me crazy. I'm thinking, 'Why does he do that? Why is this guy so stupid?' Of course, I must have done the exact same thing 5000 times when I was a player.

Hitting is a strange thing. You're so smart talking about hitting, and then you step into the batter's box, and something happens to you. You get stupid. It's like everything goes out the window. You step into the batter's box, and immediately you turn into a third-grader. Fortunately, pitchers are like second-graders.

Prior to 1983, I was always ridiculed at ballparks about an ailment I had during the 1980 World Series. Now, since 1983, I'm always known as the Pine Tar Guy. Now what you you rather be known as?

Referring to the infamous Pine Tar Game of 1983; who'd want to be remembered as the Hemorrhoids Guy?
