Only in baseball can a team player be a pure individualist first and a team player second, within the rules and spirit of the game.

There never has been a man in the game who could put mind and muscle together quicker and with better judgment than Robinson.

A great ballplayer is a player who will take a chance.

The greatest untapped reservoir of raw material in the history of our game is the black race.

Don't worry about your individual numbers. Worry about the team. If the team is successful, each of you will be successful, too.

Never surrender opportunity to security.

It is not the honor that you take with you, but the heritage you leave behind.
