I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York. ↗

I wanted to retire after I played for the Mets. My family said wait one year, that there was no need to rush it. I gave it a year and now it's time to say goodbye. ↗

It may well be on such a night of clouds and cruel colors that there is brought forth upon the earth such a portent as a respectable poet. You say you are a poet of law; I say you are a contradiction in terms. I only wonder there were not comets and earthquakes on the night you appeared in this garden. ↗

Up until about 12 years ago we never, ever, wore flak jacket or helmets but now the nastiness has got worse. ↗

Now what do you get in the Army? Bad helmets and Basra. Your guns don't work and everyone hates you when you come back. ↗

I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets, so I was into the Mets... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets, so he invites us to the games. I'm going to all the games, so I might as well root for the team I'm gonna go sit with. ↗

Ordinary folk prefer familiar tastes - they'd sooner eat the same things all the time - but a gourmet would sample a fried park bench just to know how it tastes. ↗

Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding; they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that. ↗

Career highlights? I had two - I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets. ↗
