They will look at my career as the guy who gave it all but at the same time did it with integrity. That's what we all aim for - the respect of the game as well as the honesty that's played a part of that game.

I don't think about goals and records. Competition is what keeps me playing.

If I had any interest in coming back to baseball, it would be as a general manager and not as a manager.

You can't be afraid to make errors! You can't be afraid to be naked before the crowd, because no one can ever master the game of baseball, or conquer it. You can only challenge it.

We, as sportsmen, we're not used to just sitting at home and being at home all day. We want to go out. We want to play sport. We want to be in the gym, want to train; we want to hit balls, and when you're not physically able to do that, it's really tough. It starts playing on the mind a lot more.

Football has been my life.

I think the physicality of being an athlete or working out, it grounds you. It centers you.

Living for football has saturated me.
