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.

I have always had fun playing the game of baseball because I loved it so much.

Try to change it and you will ruin it. Try to hold it and you will lose it.

Amusing and perfectly self-conscious charlatans.

Do you think Christianity could have lasted for nearly two thousand years on its promises unless the Lord could deliver on them?
