I was a baseball player, I taught baseball, and all of a sudden I was in the business world. Now I used the baseball world to talk about their product. Not too much, just enough to keep going. Just be yourself and you'll never have a problem. That's what I did.

I'm not the type of guy to go out and just say, 'Hey, I'm raising my fist to do this and do that.' I don't think I'm that type of guy. I wasn't a leader the way other people may have wanted me to be.

Youngsters of Little League can survive undercoaching a lot better than overcoaching.

At ten I was playing against 18-year-old guys. At 15 I was playing professional ball with the Birmingham Black Barons, so I really came very quickly in all sports.

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

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

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