baseball mind steps
When you step into the batter's box, have nothing on your mind except baseball.
motivational baseball impatience
A hitter's impatience is the pitcher's biggest advantage.
baseball wish firsts
I can't remember, I wish I could remember the first time I bet on baseball.
baseball eric arms
He (Eric Davis) gets power from his bat speed.....it's like he has cork in his arms.
fun winning games
Whoever said "It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game" is full of it! Winning makes all the difference in the world. Winning is fun. Losing is not. Losing sucks.
baseball way ifs
The only way I can't hit .300 is if there's something physically wrong with me.
daughter mother two
I've never looked forward to a birthday like I'm looking forward to my new daughter's birthday, because two days after that is when I can apply for reinstatement.
sports two legs
I'm no different from anybody else with two arms, two legs, and forty-two hundred hits.
hard-work reality practice
It's easy to practice something that you are good at, and that is what most people do. Wat's tough is to go ot and to work hard on the things that you don't do very well.
baseball car guy
Don Gullett's the only guy who can throw a baseball through a car wash and not get the ball wet.
baseball giving-up block
If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty. I spent my entire life on the baseball fields of America, and I was not going to give up my profession without first seeing some hard evidence ... right or wrong, the punishment didn't fit the crime, so I denied the crime.
missing-you sports games
The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.
baseball girlfriend mistake
I made mistakes. I can’t whine about it. I’m the one that messed up and I’m paying the consequences. However, if I am given a second chance, I won’t need a third chance. And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice. I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. They haven’t given too many gamblers second chances in the world of baseball.
fans helping
Day after day there are lots of fans here and it helps a lot with them out there rooting for us.
