Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.

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.

Most of my school friends and even a few of my teachers called me Duck.

I choose to look at people through God, using God as my glasses, colored with His love for them.

When I go in there, I'm not going in there to win. I'm going in there to fight!

Oh, brother wearers of motley, are there not moments when one grows sick of grinning and trembling and the jingling of cap and bells?

Our life must have an aim, but we must also ensure that the direction we take is a good one.
