It isn't hard to be good from time to time in sports. What is tough, is being good every day.
Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson.
Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.
I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw.
I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don't have a good life.
That's how easy baseball was for me. I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I had the knowledge before I became a professional baseball player to do all these things and know what each guy would hit.
