Let's see, for breakfast Rickey will have bacon and eggs, and grits if I can get 'em.

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.

What could anyone confess that would be worth anything or serve any useful purpose? What has happened to us has either happened to everyone or to us alone

What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.

The cold-audition process is not a science, so I ignore that.

Asking politicians to give up a source of money is like asking Dracula to forsake blood.

Just keep your head down and do your best.

As a world leader, America must be prepared to confront any challenge.

I can take just about anyone and make them physically strong.

Thir must be less tae life than this

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.

In every cry of every man, In every infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
