In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn't take any ability to hustle.

I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

After the sunset on the prairie, there are only the stars

Our swords shall play the orators for us.

I just wanted to live. I never wanted to hurt anyone. Please understand.

honesty dies in selling itself.

All are born to observe order, but few are born to establish it.

Self-emptiness prepares us for spiritual fullness.
