"I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player. I was born to play baseball."
"I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 than swinging for home runs."

3,000th) to the Pittsburgh fans and to the people in Puerto Rico and to
one man (Roberto Marin) in particular. The one man who carried me around
for weeks looking for a scout to sign me."
"I felt kind of bashful
(when the fans went crazy). I'm a very quiet, shy person, although you
writers might not believe because I shout sometimes."
"I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give."
"When I put on my uniform, I feel I am the proudest man on earth."
"Why does everyone talk about the past? All that counts is tomorrow's game."
