Certain guys, they can see a guy do a certain thing with their glove and know what pitch is coming. I couldn't do that. But I can get on first base and I can tell you by his move if that pitcher is going to first base or home plate every time.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

I patterned myself after Reggie Jackson. I wanted to have that same swing and hit some homeruns. When I was down in A-ball, I was trying to be Reggie Jackson and I was striking out all the time. And I was like, 'This isn't the way Reggie is doing it, so I got to change.'

I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.

If you look at some of the people in the Hall of Fame, my numbers are compatible.

My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.

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