The problem with being Comeback Player of the Year is it means you have to go somewhere before you can come back.

I'm from Southern California, so I feel much more comfortable with a golf club in my hand than I do a weapon.

Getting into the Hall of Fame won't change me. I'm still going to pass gas and pick my nose like I always do.

I want to stay around longer than the pitchers who were at the top when I came into the big leagues. I don't want to be gone and have all the old guys - Seaver, Carlton, Ryan and Sutton - still pitching. I got rid of Palmer, now I want to outlast the rest of them.
