You visualize [pitches]. You see it in your head; you think it...I used to play every pitcher in my mind before I went to the ballpark. I started getting ready for ever game the moment I woke up.

On the field, blacks have been able to be super giants. But, once our playing days are over, this is the end of it and we go back to the back of the bus again.

Failure will never stand int he way of success if you learn from it.

I came to the Braves on business, and I intended to see that business was good as long as I could.

I can't recall a day this year or last when I did not hear the name of Babe Ruth.

I never thought we'd ever have a black president. President Obama has done such a tremendous job He just has been unable to get what he needs to be moved at the level it should be moved.

Failure is part of success.
