Four or five times a week, ... But I never bet against my own team, and I never made any bets from the clubhouse.

I bet on the game of baseball and I bet on my team, even the mistakes I made, I have to take a different look at someone betting against their own team... that's throwing the game.

I admitted I bet on baseball, but I wasn't suspended from baseball for betting on baseball.

During the times I gambled as a manager, I never took an unfair advantage, ... I never bet more or less based on injuries or inside information. I never allowed my wagers to influence my baseball decisions. So in my mind, I wasn't corrupt.

I never picked up my phone and called a bookmaker and bet on a baseball game from the clubhouse. Never.

I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.
