When I First Came Up,

I Had Never Been To The Playoffs, And It Was Exciting. The Fans Went Through The Roof. They Were Excited About The Whole Team. It Was Great To Be Traded To A City Like Chicago, Which Was A Lot Like Boston.

My Career Spanned The Era When Relievers Started To Become More Important

I'm Proud Of The Fact That I Pitched Almost 3,300 Innings.

It Took Me A Few Years To Realize That Throwing Harder Wasn't Always Better.

I Was A Starter And Did Some Good Things There, And Then I Got A Chance To Prove Myself As A Closer. Because Of That Opportunity, I Was Blessed With The Honor Of Being Elected To The Hall Of Fame.
