Pudge Rodriguez: "The first time I caught Nolan Ryan in 1991, we sat down in the coaches room. We talked to [then Rangers pitching coach] Tom House. He came in the first time. We met, I didn't speak the language. I saw Nolan and the one thing he said was, 'Kid, you don't have to do too much.' And I said, 'OK.' 'Kid, all you have to do is put fingers down, and I'll throw the baseball to you.'"

3:57 p.m. ET: Pudge stands tall
"To the youngsters, may this moment remind you that destiny is in your hands. ... Everything in life is possible." More >

"The only thing I wanted to be was a good teammate." More >

2:28 p.m. ET: Schuerholz enters Hall of Fame
