That's just my family's mentality. We are a very loving, hugging and kissing kind of family. And we grew up in a church atmosphere and still have that atmosphere. There is no negativity.

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
Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy.
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.
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
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
I'll have a stamp on me forever. There will always be questions. I brought new fans to the Orioles' organization, and that's good.
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
You don't protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself.
Eric Davis
The kids competed for a full 32 minutes. We want the kids to compete on every possession.
Eric Davis

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 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 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
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
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'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
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
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'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.
