Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I'm cocky? Does that mean I'm arrogant?

Even the slowest guy can go from first to third and help win a ballgame.

When I was growing up, my favorite player was Reggie Jackson - and I never got the opportunity to get an autograph from Reggie. I was so frustrated. I mean, he was my idol.

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

I wanted to be a part of something special and contributing to the launch of a new league was very exciting to me.

Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.
