It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.

So many good things have happened to me in the game of baseball. When I do allow myself a chance to think about it, it's almost like a storybook career. You feel so blessed to have been able to compete this long.

HOF 2007
I haven't given it (achieving 3000 hits) much thought. I was taught a certain approach, how to come to the ballpark. I try not to do too much thinking about things like that. In this society we measure success in different ways. Three thousand (hits) represents success over a career, not a season. It'll be nice to get to that point.

HOF 2007
I truly believe that baseball is such a repetitive game. You play this game every day and people ask me how you get better at it. Well, you take a lot of ground balls and you take a lot of swings, over and over and over. Repetitious. I truly believe that I get into the routine because I expect to perform well every day. I'm going up against the best every day. There's no room to slack off. People expect you to play your best, so I go through a routine to prepare myself so that I know I'm physically and mentally ready -- prepared for the game. Where I can say to myself, "OK, I'm ready."

I always had a distinct hate for the Dodgers myself. Most of the guys were banty rooster types, "We're the Dodgers" types...(Pee Wee) Reese was a hell of a ball player, great ball player, but he was one of the best agitators in the world. And Gene Mauch, he was one of those little banty roosters, too. Mauch was just like all those other little guys. There are very few tiny men in sports that aren't cocky as hell or tough as hell, one or the other.

Numbers are irrelevant to me. They don't mean anything. I never liked them. I don't need a stat to tell me if I had a good game.

We just want to win -- that's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.
