More quotes by Eric Davis
When you get back on the field and do things, any doubts you've developed leave. The more consistent you become, the fewer doubts you have.
Eric Davis
I remember in 1990, there were five of us making $3 million a year. When guys passed us, we didn't cry. Why would we cry? You didn't get mad when someone got $6 million. Or $8 million.
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'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.
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
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.
Eric Davis
If you're feeling pressure, then you shouldn't be here.
Eric Davis
I'd never heard of colon cancer. Baseball wasn't even important to me. I have a wife and two girls. That's what was important. The doctors told me and all I could say was, 'When are we going to get this thing out?'
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
There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he might hit 100 homers.
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
Most of the places I've been, I've been a main piece of the puzzle.
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
The last two times I went to spring training, I had to win a job, and if I didn't get off to a blazing start, I'm on the bench. Now, I've proven myself, so it's not essential that I get off to a real good start.
Eric Davis
The kids competed for a full 32 minutes. We want the kids to compete on every possession.
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 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.
Eric Davis
You don't protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself.
Eric Davis
I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do.
