To succeed in baseball, as in life, you must make adjustments.

My name is not 'The Best Player in Baseball.' My name is George Kenneth Griffey, Jr.

This is something I dreamed about as a little kid, being back in my hometown (Cincinnati) where I watched so many great players.

When (the Reds) won, we loved it because we ran into the locker room and touched all the bats and gloves and got some bubble gum and red pop. When they lost, we were upset because we didn't get the bubble gum and red pop.

If I'm compared to Babe Ruth or Willie Mays, that's great. But I'm just going to go out there and be myself.

Talk to people. Go another way. Don't kill yourself. It ain't worth it and I'm a great example. No matter how bad it seems at the time, work your way through it. Who knows how your life is going to turn out?
