Willie Stargell
Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters.
Willie Stargell
There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.
Willie Stargell
I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.
Willie Stargell
