Yes, I had to learn how to live life outside, but I had so many people help me.

Congratulations to Alex Rodriguez on his 660th home run, milestones in baseball are meant to be broken and I wish him continued success throughout his career.

I don't compare 'em, I just catch 'em.

What you are thinking, what shape your mind is in, is what makes the biggest difference of all.

Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson.

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

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.
