“I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life …” — Wade Boggs

The old saying was, 'Boggs never drives in any runs.' I played in 155 games. I led off. That's 155 plate appearance where I come up with nobody on.

When you set goals and you reach those goals in mid-August and early September, there's nothing to look forward to. You sort of lose your drive.

One guy that I wish was here right now, Ted Williams, helped me so much, our long talks, not about hitting but about fishing, one of Ted's passions, and I wish he was here today to share this with me because I owe so much to Ted Williams.

My God... What are the headlines going to be like on Monday if the Yankees don't make the playoffs?
