en This is a day for kids. This is a day that brings out the children in all of us. You can imagine when you were 8 years old or 10 years old how, with such reverence, you viewed the phrase 'pitchers and catchers report.' And the van leaving is that trigger of emotion that tells you it's just five days until pitchers and catchers report. And on a day when New England is blanketed with snow, the reminder that pitchers and catchers report in a few days by virtue of the van leaving, those are good words. Those are soothing to any New Englander's soul.

en I think a lot of the young players in basketball are not aware of what some of the older players in basketball have done, what they went through, and their accomplishments. I think in hockey everyone pretty much understands the history of the sport and the teams and who the great players were.

en I am very fond of Kevin and have been for a long time. I think Alderson thinks the world of Kevin and vice versa. So I can't predict what the future's gonna hold.

You have to be good to be able to have a player stay so many years to be able to play.

en Players get older; players get hurt; players get more expensive. It's important to keep one eye on the present and one eye on the future in putting together a roster. Branch Rickey articulated it sixty years ago and it's still true today.
