Zitat des Tages von George Brett:
My father cared a lot about me, but he never gave me the satisfaction of really knowing it. Hitting .390 wasn't enough for him. Nothing seemed to be. He was not trying to be mean. He was just seeing to it that I never got self-satisfied, that I worked hard to get the most out of what I had.
If I stay healthy, I have a chance to collect 3,000 hits and 1,000 errors.
American League teams don't bunt very often. National League teams bunt a lot.
Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.
I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.
If I was going to make one rule change, I would bring the DH in the National League.
A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that.
I've only read two books in my life: Baseball Sparkplug and Love Story.
If there was no intentional walks, the guy would just walk him anyway, unintentionally intentionally walk him. You see a lot more of that than what meets the eye.
I'm a ballplayer. I know how hard the game is... and anybody that makes it in the Hall of Fame, I support. They become a member of our special fraternity.
If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing you grandmother with her teeth out.
There's nothing like Opening Day. There's nothing like the start of a new season. I started playing baseball when I was seven years old and quit playing when I was 40, so it's kind of in my blood.
I never lifted a weight in my life. Why am I going to do steroids? That's not going to do me any good. We didn't have any weights in our clubhouse. We had one exercise bike and that was for the guy who tweaked his hamstring. And that thing didn't even work half the time.
