Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

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.

You lose, you smile, and you come back the next day. You win, you smile, you come back the next day.

As long as I have fun playing, the stats will take care of themselves.

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

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.

I remember when I was a kid being called names, including the 'n' word. The first time that happened, it really bothered me. But most of the people I dealt with were all white. Most of my close friends were white.
