I don't have to steal bases. I steal bases because I want to.
I don't think about goals and records. Competition is what keeps me playing.

If you're successful in what you do over a period of time, you'll start approaching records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged.
One of the trademarks of a champion is that he can outlast you.
Your bat is your life. It's your weapon. You don't want to go into battle with anything that feels less than perfect
