I'm disappointed about how my career ended.

I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.

Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you're happy to go home.

My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

I can't find a job. It makes me crazy.

Rickey was never motivated by stats. He was motivated by numbers. Wins, runs, steals.

I told myself that if I ever make it to the big leagues that I would be the one to appreciate the fans. Take a little time out to sign autographs and shake their hands and say hello to them.

Practice bravery every day and the self-worth will come.

The greatest obstacle to true learning is the inability to say "I don't know.

Men who have been in war have a different attitude about being wronged.

Whatever a human being makes and makes live, it lives because of the life he puts into it.

Sincerity doesn't mean anything. A person can be sincere and be more destructive than a person who is insincere.

Hey, people who travel with their bed pillow. You look insane.

A true work of art can stand many seeings, revealing anew at each seeing.

I came to success very late in life.

A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
