Quotable Quotes:
"Nobody wants to have the call that I did in the World Series. But I did. And now it's part of history."
"I'm not tired of talking about it. I mean, it happened. I just know that if the same thing happened now, they'd get it right on replay and it'd be over with."
It's life, and it goes on. I'm obviously reminded constantly that I made a mistake. You know what? I was an umpire for more than 30 years in the major leagues. I know I made a lot of mistakes. That one was just blown out of proportion."
