View Photo »He's the greatest DH since the rule was put in ... That's the easy part of it, and I'll let the writers decide whether he is a Hall of Famer.
All of us at Major League Baseball are deeply saddened by the loss of Jerry Clothier, an outstanding executive who served the Phillies with excellence since 1982
This was very important to me ... This really is in everyone's best interest.
I believe that this five-year agreement will continue the remarkable popularity and surge that baseball has been on
Labor peace has proven essential to the best interests of baseball and its millions of fans
A lot of us didn’t understand how serious the labour conflict of the ’70s and ’80s had really hurt the sport
I’m still more than very hopeful we’ll add two wild-card teams in 2012
Yes, I'd still like to get it done and add the two Wild Cards teams for 2012
Nobody back in the ‘70s, ‘80s and early ‘90s, 1994, would ever believe that we would have 21 years of labor peace
It meant a great deal to me personally, and a great deal to our sport
Nobody back in the early days would ever believe we'd have 21 years or labor peace ... Clearly that's remarkable. It's interesting to note that baseball's popularity, manifested in myriad ways, has been at its height the last 15 or 16 years. I think one of the biggest reasons is labor peace. A lot of us...
I have no concerns about that at all ... I've read that. I'm trying to be kind and not my usual sarcastic or cynical self. I don't believe that's a possibility. I think the sport is on an upgrade on every level, and I think (the new agreement) will help us in every area, including that one.
I am thrilled for the fans that the clubs and the players of Major League Baseball, together, have the opportunity to further build on our game's unprecedented popularity
I have no concerns about that
There's a lot of history here
Through the cooperation of both parties, this is the strongest [drug testing] program today in American sports, and we've now strengthened it
