It's always exciting that you can rub elbows with some of the greatest players who have ever played the game, and just being around the "family" again from baseball.

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.

I am tired of the sickening sight of the battlefield with its mangled corpses & poor suffering wounded. Victory has no charms for men when purchased at such cost.

A machine! I have become a machine! It has taken over my life. How ironic! In a world of freedom and independence, my entire life now depends on a machine!

How fast a company can respond in an emergency is a measure of its corporate reflexes.

If Melanchthon were alive today, he might not weep because of controversies that surround the Lord's Supper, but he might well sorrow because of our indifference to its meaning and importance.

The poetic image exists apart from causality.

In acting class, teachers talk about how the 'givens' of a situation help define a character.

I would be a fool to put my feet down in a position where I can't accommodate metamorphoses.

I'm weird. I still believe that when you do good deeds, you get something back in return. That's why I really enjoy helping other guys succeed.

Each musical finds its own way.

There is a difference between listening and waiting for your turn to speak.
