But I'll always be a Red at heart.

We turn the Georgia Dome into a huge church. ... It is a production.

I never had a good game against him because, in catching, Ellie talked too much. I asked him, 'Please give me one at bat, but just don't talk.' He gave me one pitch, (then it was) back to the conversation.

We could hit. We had a problem with pitching. We had pitchers nobody else wanted. We would score a lot of runs, but we couldn't hold them.

Ellie was a kind, wonderful person. He never met a stranger. I don't have enough words, I don't have enough time, to explain the greatness of this guy.

It's easy to get caught up in the fanfare, and you can really see that a lot of people get into all of that. But it helps bring people to the church.

It's like you're born into a family -- you get up there in age, you leave home, but you're always part of the family. So I guess I'll always be a Red at heart.

That might have been the worst point of my life in baseball. I had never played with anybody but the Reds. We had gelled together and all of a sudden I got traded, kicked out of the house. It took a while to get over it.
