The only name on my birth certificate was Henley, no first name.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

I haven't had the time to say, 'I'm retiring.' But baseball says, 'You're retired.'

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.

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

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.

Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you're happy to go home.
