I don't go to bed every night worried about getting back into baseball.
I'd be willing to bet you, if I were a betting man, that I have never bet on baseball.
If baseball wants to get you, they've got enough resources and enough investigators that they'll find a way to get you.
The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.
I owe baseball. Baseball don't owe me a damn thing.
When people ask me, "Who was the toughest pitcher you ever faced?", I have to say that there has never been a pitcher who over-impressed me. That's not meant to be a bragging statement. It's just that I get up for good pitchers.
I would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame.
No one ever asked what was my relationship with Bart Giamatti. We used to talk about baseball a lot as a player and a commissioner, just talk about the game, what could we do to help the game, where's the game going, he was pretty good.
I can't remember, I wish I could remember the first time I bet on baseball.
The only way I can't hit .300 is if there's something physically wrong with me.
I played with 11 Hall of Famers and played against 52 Hall of Famers, and I don't know any of them linked to steroids.
Am I still in uniform? Then I ain't retired.
I came to Vegas because I work 20 days a month here; I couldn't live anywhere else.
He (Eric Davis) gets power from his bat speed.....it's like he has cork in his arms.
The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.
Baseball is an individual game, but it should never be a personal game.
I've never looked forward to a birthday like I'm looking forward to my new daughter's birthday, because two days after that is when I can apply for reinstatement.
I admitted I bet on baseball, but I wasn't suspended from baseball for betting on baseball.
I think that the most important thing to me is fans. Without the viewers, without the fans, we have nothing. So I think the fans are awfully important.
Day after day there are lots of fans here and it helps a lot with them out there rooting for us.
I haven't missed a game in two-and-a-half years. I go to the park as sick as a dog and, when I see my uniform hanging there, I get well right now. Then I see some of you guys (media) and I get sick again.
If you're not active - and I'm not active - and you don't watch what you eat, you can get big as a horse.
I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.
What's the game coming to? Evidently the guys making all these rules never played the game of baseball.
Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league.
