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

People always ask me why I still want to play, but I want to know why no one will give me an opportunity. It's like they put a stamp on me: 'Hall of Fame. You're done. That's it.' It's a goddamn shame.

The only thing I wish I could figure out is how I got misunderstood regarding the type of person I really am and what I accomplished.

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.'

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

I'm already in the (record) books three or four times.

In baseball you train the whole body, except for the hip and eyes.
