I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.

Pittsburgh isn't fancy, but it is real. It's a working town and money doesn't come easy. I feel as much a part of this city as the cobblestone streets and the steel mills, people in this town expect an honest day's work, and I've it to them for a long, long time.

I was always a self-proclaimed poor slider.

Love soothes wounds, while hatred and violence deepen them.

You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.

I never search for a reason why - I have faith in the Lord's purpose.

Oakland revolved around Forbes Field. Nothing in the city could match that atmosphere.
