• En cuanto al sueño, te levantas a las seis de la mañana. Los entrenamientos de primavera eran siempre una combinación de descanso y trabajo, y lo echaba bastante de menos. Echaba de menos estar cerca del campo de béisbol. Una pelota de béisbol. Un bate. El olor del uniforme, se podría decir. Hablar de béisbol. Ver a los rivales, así como a los Cubs.

• The Baseball Hall of Fame is something every player dreams about, but being a member of God's Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement of all. God offers each of us the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. When we accept God's gift of salvation, our name is written in the Book of Life, guaranteeing us a place in heaven forever. I made that decision during spring training in 1973, asking Jesus to come into my heart as Lord and Savior.

• The last start of spring training, my (cut fastball) was okay. It just wasn't what I wanted it to be. I tried to work on making it cut more and do more. I think that set (the forearm) off ... trying to make it move a lot, cut a lot. I'm just going to back off and trust it a little bit more and not try and push that.

• One time in spring training, we had the hit-and-run on, and Carl Erskine threw me a curve and I struck out into a double play. I came back to the bench and Casey [Stengel] said, 'next time, tra-la-la.' I didn't know what tra-la-la meant, but next time up, I hit a line drive, right into a double play. When I sat down, Casey came over and said, 'Like I told you, tra-la-la.'

• Me dijo que no podría hacer (fuera del campo) lo que hacía cuando tenía 23 o 24 años, y le hice caso. Maldita sea, conseguí un entrenador y fui a los entrenamientos de primavera en la mejor forma de mi carrera y en 1985 tuve la mejor temporada de mi vida y ganamos las Series Mundiales. Antes de eso, no sabía cuánto tiempo iba a jugar. Esa charla con el Sr. Fogelman fue la más inspiradora que he tenido con nadie.

• Creo que Barry Bonds se encontraba en una situación única, dadas sus lesiones de hace un año y el hecho de que sólo jugó 14 partidos. Aunque hablé con Barry en diciembre y se mostró entusiasmado y entusiasmada con la posibilidad, creo que cuanto más se acercaba a la realidad de los entrenamientos de primavera, y a medida que se ponía en forma para la temporada regular y los Gigantes de San Francisco, sentía que podía ser demasiado desafío intentar forzar su cuerpo en este momento de su carrera.

• America overflows with specious "victims" demanding redress for spurious grievances. However, one genuinely oppressed minority is getting overdue relief. Beginning with spring training in Arizona and Florida, Major League Baseball, taking pity on traumatized pitchers, is directing umpires to enforce the strike zone.

• Lo que se hace durante la temporada baja es, primero, construir una base. Eso lleva unas tres semanas, y luego intentas ponerte lo más fuerte posible antes de ir a los entrenamientos de primavera. Una vez que llegas allí, reduces la intensidad y te limitas a un programa de mantenimiento durante los seis o siete meses siguientes.

• What we're going to do is use spring training as sort of a feeling-out process for Phil and Preston and our other outfielders. It gives us a lot of comfort to know that you've got a pure center fielder like Preston. But he's also so athletic, he can come in and play either corner and we'll feel very comfortable with it.

• I'm clean, I've always been clean. But it never ends. It seems like every reporter from last season to this season has reported and opened up a new can of (expletive). And I haven't even been to spring training. At least let me get to spring training and (expletive) up before you crucify me.
