Your bat is your life. It's your weapon. You don't want to go into battle with anything that feels less than perfect
Jim Crow was king... and I heard a game in which Jackie Robinson was playing, and I felt pride in being alive
I don't think about goals and records. Competition is what keeps me playing.
One of the trademarks of a champion is that he can outlast you.
I don't have to steal bases. I steal bases because I want to.
You can't be afraid to make errors! You can't be afraid to be naked before the crowd, because no one can ever master the game of baseball, or conquer it. You can only challenge it.
