No one's going to tell me how to make my own choices. For too many years, everybody told me what to say and what to do and how to be.
I did many stupid things. I made many mistakes, but I learnt from everything. I still make mistakes; I still learn from them. Nobody is perfect.
One can have many regrets in life, but they are temporary. There are lessons to learn from every mistake.
How can a coach have any influence over a player that's making over five times more than he is?
There are people, coaches, and players who fit in certain places. All players don't fit into all teams, and not every manager can manage every team.
I've made mistakes, and I know why I made them, but I made that choice. Nobody's ever made a choice for me.
I was correct in every call I made, regardless of what managers, players or replay may have said. To me, that's the reason I'm in the Hall of Fame. If I didn't umpire with conviction, I wouldn't have made it for long.
Technically, maybe I learned most of all from George Stevens, and among his movies I learned the most from 'A Place in the Sun.' It's a lesson in moviemaking.
We must expect to fail... but fail in a learning posture, determined no to repeat the mistakes, and to maximize the benefits from what is learned in the process.
