One of the beautiful things about baseball is the history.

I loved throwing a baseball. It is so important to find something in life you feel crazy about. Because you are so passionate you naturally practice. The hard work that it takes to do something well will come easily.

My advice is that you go and do something that you are really driven to do. I loved to play baseball and, because I loved it, I practiced it. Some of us have limitations, but if you are passionate about something and if you have the drive, then you can accomplish it.

I knew how far a little boy or girl could run with 50 words of reassurance.

I could always throw the ball pretty well and I worked pretty hard at learning how to play the game. But I didn't consider it work as a kid, since I just loved playing baseball.

In the 8th inning you can't hear the roar of the 9th, all you can do to hold yourself together, and trust.

It's not the disability that defines you; it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with.
