I never did allow anything to keep me from my kids. They're the most important part of my life.

Never had I had so many friends and so much fun as I did in the projects.

It's supposed to be fun, the man says 'Play Ball' not 'Work Ball' you know.

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

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

Unfortunately, inner feelings and potential are often stunted by our parents, relatives or peers.

They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball. And they tell you to hit it square.
