baseball cancer thinking
I was hitting .360 when I was diagnosed. I didn't forget how to play while I was recovering. I don't know if the cancer is gone for good. I don't think anyone ever knows, but no one is going to steal my joy for as along as I'm able to play baseball.
player thinking people
I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect.
feelings pressure ifs
If you're feeling pressure, then you shouldn't be here.
able uniforms therapy
Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy.
team winning games
My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I can do that, everything will take care of itself.
games play fields
I have figured out it's not what you do on the field, it's how many games you play in.
baseball games people
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
games names doe
Come on, when does it come to the point where your name can't come up in trade talks? Willie Mays got traded. Pedro Martinez got traded. So what? That's part of the game.
baseball cancer play
I'm no different than others with cancer. I just happen to play professional baseball. I'm part of those statistics that cancer has touched as well.
next firsts eric
I want to establish myself as the first Eric Davis, not the next Willie Mays.
giving-up worry needs
Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control.
writing worry people
I don't listen to what people say about me and I don't read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I'm not going to worry about it.
cancer role-models people
I will be a role model for cancer patients for the rest of my life. But you know what? When I was getting chemo, those people inspired me.
pieces places-ive-been puzzles
Most of the places I've been, I've been a main piece of the puzzle.
