Quotes of 1974

Quotes taken from the authors in 1974

I have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason.

I don't know how many people feel strongly about what I do.

I'm not chasing money, so I'm not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number.

I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.

My parents didn't have the opportunities that my wife and I have now, from a quality of life standpoint.

I kept giving up runs. It was, for sure, a rough road and a very rocky one. I enjoyed my time there, but not as much as I could have if I would have pitched well.

I thought Paulie could jump. I know he's not fleet of foot, but at least have some hops. I guess we know who is not going to win a gold glove. I was trying to become a spokesperson for the U.S. Postal Service.

With a fresh start, I hope it'll work out good. I know the whole Fox story and how he came over here and had a great year for them. I'm hoping that's what it'll be - fresh start, new faces, new team, new city. I'm looking forward to getting out there.

You can ask anybody in the room. My numbers are the worst in here but I'm still a jerk to everybody, yelling at everybody, getting them going. Once I get it back, then I'll be even worse to the guys.

Some people meet me sometimes and they sit down and talk to me for a while and ask me my name and say, 'Oh, you're the guy'.

This will be my last contract. I wanted it to be a good one.

I know who I am and can deal with the use of Indian mascots... But I know it can be demeaning to a group of people. Maybe it would be all right if they were truly honoring the people and are giving due respect to the people they are representing.

Not a problem kid or anything like that so when you're in the legal system like that, it's always hard on a person for the first time to go through some things like that.

St. Louis is more humid. But after a while, the heat started taking a toll on us, so we started rotating a little more up front trying to stay fresh out here.

To be number one, you must train like you are number two.

I've had bad jobs. Now I have a good one. I'm thankful.

It's a mental battle trying to come back from injuries and I don't feel like having that mental battle with myself.

I have a God-given talent and I work very hard for what I do. Anybody can run fast. It's how you run fast. I pay attention to technical things now.

Weather is uncontrollable. Only the Lord above can control the weather. Whatever we get, we have to work with.

I played Baby New Year. When everybody started hollering and throwing confetti, I thought it was for me.
