I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.

It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.

There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
