Well, Rickey's not one of them, so that's 49 percent right there.

Nothing's impossible for Rickey. You don't have enough fingers and toes to count out Rickey.

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

I don't think I ever got proper credit about being smart about the game.

I have to play baseball to make me happy. I have to be an athlete. But when it's all said and done, I'll be a normal father. A normal-type house man.

I can still steal a base anytime I get ready.

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.
