The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform.

It was all about doing things right. If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen. That's what I loved most about the game, how a ground out to second with a man on second and nobody out was a great thing. In my day, if a guy came to spring training 20 pounds heavier than what he left, he was considered out of shape and was probably in trouble. He'd be under a microscope and the first time he couldn't beat out a base hit or missed a fly ball, he was probably shipped out. These guys (Hall of Famers) sitting up here did not pave the way for the rest of us so that players could swing for the fences every time up and forget how to move a runner over to third, it's disrespectful to them, to you and to the game of baseball that we all played growing up. Respect.

We do have a problem in baseball, and using steroids is not respecting the game.

I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel.

When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game?

I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.

My mom was at every single game I played as a kid, rain or shine.

The reason I am here, they tell me, is that I played the game a certain way, that I played the game the way it was supposed to be played.
