Winning a World Series in Philadelphia is more special than in Boston

What separates the two for me was... there's not many championships in the city of Philadelphia. In the city of Boston, it's pretty different. That's what makes Philadelphia to me a little bit more special. You have a love and a passion for their sports, but I feel like [Philly fans] act differently about it because they don't have many.

Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in all of sports

Baseball's the hardest thing to do in the world. I mean, I don't care, golf's hard... but if I tell you, 'Hey, let's go down to the park and let me throw an 80 mile an hour fastball at you, and throw the first one at your head,' that's part of the game. And you'll never want to step back in. So that's the hardest.

Stephen Strasburg at his peak was the filthiest pitcher I ever faced

Steven Strasburg, when he first came to the big leagues... he made his debut against us. He threw a hundred and you just threw me two off speed pitches in a three-two count... I was like, bro, like this dude is not real. His first five years... it was a joke. It wasn't fun.
