Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.

Never assume the other guy will never do something you would never do.

In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated.

I was very blessed with a good body. Never got hurt. Never was in the hospital. The only time I was in the hospital was when I would get exhausted a little bit, and go in for a check-up or something.

In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.

The greatest challenge I think is adjusting to not playing baseball. The reason for that is I had to come out of baseball and come into the business world, not being a college graduate, not being educated to come into the business world the way I should have.

I played with the Birmingham Black Barons. I was making 500 at 14. That was a lot of money in those days.
