Pat Corrales Quotations

He showed up on Sunday. He beat the Yankees again by himself.

Now people are starting to realize, yeah, some people are gifted and can play at that age.

I didn't expect this type of longevity. He just didn't have the right attitude. He was a young man who liked to chase the pretty young girls.

I didn't know if he'd even be alive at 37. He was different back then. Then something just clicked.

Somebody told me he was blackballed but I don't believe in that. You're not going to sign a guy that's 35 years old.

Now he realizes in order to maintain some of that excellence that he has, he has to work at it. Really the past couple of years he's worked at his game, and he reaped the benefits last year with those numbers he put up on the board.

I had to send a couple of guys to look for him. I was more worried about him, his health, than our baseball team.
