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

Human beings are pampered by the Lord. Their real tests don't come until later in life.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.

I loved to hit with men on base and with the game on the line.

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

Helping someone is what life is all about.

We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed.
