I don't go to bed every night worried about getting back into baseball.

See the ball; hit the ball.

If I had been busted for drugs instead of gambling, I'd still be managing the Reds and baseball would be paying for my rehab.

With the money I'm making, I should be playing two positions.

You know what God told the Cubs? Don't do anything until I come back.

You know, baseball's not stupid. Baseball does what the fans want, usually.

Mr. Selig looked at me and said, 'I want to know one thing. Did you bet on baseball?' ... I looked him in the eye. 'Sir, my daddy taught me two things in life -- how to play baseball and how to take responsibility for my actions. I learned the first one pretty well. The other, I've had some trouble with. Yes, sir, I did bet on baseball.'

had been an alcoholic or a drug addict, baseball would have suspended me for six weeks and paid for my rehabilitation.
