There's not too many rich black people in this world.

It's a relief now to be able to stand next to my godfather and finally feel like I've accomplished something in the game of baseball.

I like to be against the odds.

I don't know what my future is.

I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I was a momma's boy. I didn't get anything from Dad, except my body and baseball knowledge. The only time I spent with him was at the ballpark.
