It's a lot like life. I think 99 percent of what goes on in life, we have very little control over.

The biggest adjustment from the minors was learning to spend $45 in meal money.
play league guy
I can only guess that, for guys in their 30s and 40s who watched me play, they understood that the score never mattered and my paycheck never mattered (in relation) to how I played. I played with Little League enthusiasm and professional flair. That's what fans are really looking for.
way certain wanted
I always respected Barry Bonds, and I wanted to let him know that I did in a certain way.
baseball father kids
I don't care what you do - baseball or politics - George W. Bush is always going to be compared to his father. I just want it to be an easy answer in 50 years - Who was the better player, me, or my kids? I want it to be my kids.
country baseball giving
Who says there's an unemployment problem in this country? Just take the five percent unemployed and give them a baseball stat to follow.

If everyone were like him (Mitch Williams) I wouldn't play. I'd find a safer way to make a living.

They wanted me to play third like Brooks so I did play like Brooks - Mel Brooks.
sports way argument
We had an argument once, yeah. It was the best thing that could have happened to our working relationship. After that, we understood each other and got along much better. I always respected Barry Bonds, and I wanted to let him know that I did in a certain way.

He (Ozzie Smith) plays like he's on a mini-trampoline or wearing helium kangaroo shorts.
sports psychology trying
Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon.
