The most important part of a player's body is above his shoulders.
I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.
Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life.
A ball bat is a wondrous weapon.
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault.
Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.
