It isn't hard to be good from time to time in sports. What is tough, is being good every day.

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

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

I remember the last season I played. I went home after a ballgame one day, lay down on my bed, and tears came to my eyes. How can you explain that? It's like crying for your mother after she's gone. You cry because you love her. I cried, I guess, because I loved baseball, and I knew I had to leave it.

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.

When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But, when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.

What's tough is being good every day.
