I owe a large part of my success to Joe Brown, who helped me both as a player and a person.

Be honest and work hard to get what you want. Don't take shortcuts; you only cheat yourself in the long run. Success is not measured by money or fame, but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them.

When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball." They say, "Play ball."
