My impact on the game was going out there and making things happen.

I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.

I love talking about baserunning.

I have always had fun playing the game of baseball because I loved it so much.

The only thing I wish I could figure out is how I got misunderstood regarding the type of person I really am and what I accomplished.

People say I stole a lot of bases. I stole the bases for a reason. I crossed the plate.

It gave me no chance. He (Nolan Ryan) just blew it (strikeout #5,000) by me. But its an honor. I'll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I'm already in the books three or four times.
