He was a few years ahead of me in school, and I would go out to the baseball games and watch him play, ... I'm a big fan of the Orioles.

Baseball hasn't forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven't lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me. Just like old times.

It's a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you're surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.

That was a good baseball team. We played really well and I think Troy really shines (in big games).

In too many games we played five or six innings of great baseball and then just cruised through the ninth. To be the dominant team we want to be we need to keep the pressure on our opponents every inning.
