If you don't think baseball is a big deal, don't do it. But if you do, do it right.

In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

Imagine if these computer geeks who are running baseball now were allowed to run a war? They'd be telling our soldiers: 'That's enough. You've fired too many bullets from your rifle this week!'

It was not a big deal. There's not a lot of joy in the Rangerdom right now. That's baseball.

The thing most people don't understand is that pitching isn't the same every time out.
