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

I told myself that if I ever make it to the big leagues that I would be the one to appreciate the fans. Take a little time out to sign autographs and shake their hands and say hello to them.

I don't think I could have dreamt it up any better than how things went, of being at my peak at just the right time, and have everything go my way.

Rickey got a big ranch. Rickey got a big bull. Rickey got horses. Rickey got chickens and everything. And Rickey got a 20-gallon hat.
