To get along with me, don't increase my tension.
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.
He (Shoeless Joe Jackson) was the finest natural hitter in the history of the game.
I've got to be first. ALL the time.
Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life.
Just speed, raw speed, blinding speed, too much speed.
