It's got to be better than rooming with Joe Page.

The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.

I no longer have it (desire to play).

Motivation is something nobody else can give you. Others can help motivate you, but basically it must come from you and it must be a constant desire to do your very best at all times and under any circumstances.

The reason I play so hard is that somewhere out there is some kid who has never seen me play before, and I don't want to disappoint him.

You ought to run the hardest when you feel the worst. Never let the other guy know you're down.

I thought he had been shot.
