More quotes by Eric Davis
I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.
Eric Davis
I'm not head-strong, and I'm not egotistical. I understand certain things better now. I won't be trying to be play everyday. There's only one Cal Ripken, one Lou Gehrig and one Joe DiMaggio. What is good for them isn't necessarily good for Eric Davis.
Eric Davis
I've been hearing this since I first joined the Reds organization, that I'm going to be the next this or that. It's tough on a young player coming up. You show some positive things and everybody jumps on that and says you should be the next Willie Mays.
Eric Davis
My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I can do that, everything will take care of itself.
Eric Davis
People spend time worrying about things they think they have to have and lose perception of what they do have. You can have all the money and material things you want. If you aren't here to enjoy them, what good do they do?
Eric Davis
The kids competed for a full 32 minutes. We want the kids to compete on every possession.
Eric Davis
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
Eric Davis
If you're feeling pressure, then you shouldn't be here.
Eric Davis
I was disappointed in everything - my start and the team's start. People got down on me, but I never got down on myself. I still believed I could be the type of player everyone, including me, thought I was going to be.
Eric Davis
Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy.
Eric Davis
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.
Eric Davis
Blessings can come in a number of ways. The Lord doesn't give you what you want, the Lord gives you what you need.
Eric Davis
I ate while I was taking chemo. The doctors didn't know. I really didn't get any nausea. I didn't have side effects. I would be drained for a day and a half.
Eric Davis
You don't protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself.
Eric Davis
People saw me as being heroic, but I was no more heroic than I was with other injuries I had, like the lacerated kidney I suffered during the 1990 World Series. It's just that people haven't known anyone with a lacerated kidney, but everyone can relate to someone with cancer.
Eric Davis
I was able to get operated on four days after I was diagnosed. It was just a matter of getting this baseball-sized tumor out of me. I reflect now on how lucky I was to be in the situation where I could get the best possible help and treatment.
Eric Davis
I want to establish myself as the first Eric Davis, not the next Willie Mays.
Eric Davis
Everyone would like to play in their hometown, but right now I like Cincinnati, I like the way it's going. I'm happy.
Eric Davis
Nothing I did contributed to me having cancer, so I can't sit back and say, 'Oh why me.' Why not me? Why does tragedy always have to hit someone else?
Eric Davis
Most of the places I've been, I've been a main piece of the puzzle.
