I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.
Willie Stargell
Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.
Willie Stargell

Willie Stargell

Willie Stargell
I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.
Willie Stargell
I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.
Willie Stargell
I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.
