“I wanted to stay close enough so mom could see me play – where I could go home if I needed to.”

Back when I was training, probably the only nutritious thing on the market was Gatorade-that’s all that we knew. But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field-to enhance their physical appearance.

[A]ll the categories of creatures act individually as special-case and may be linearly analyzed; retrospectively, it is discoverable that inadvertently they are all interaffecting one another synergetically as a spherical, interprecessionally regenerative, tensegrity spherical integrity.

I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don’t go to games.

My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now – my greatest achievement period is – and I’m still trying to achieve it – is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

Football is easy if you’re crazy as hell.

I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.

So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.

The older kids decided to pick me on me starting when I was about 6 and it didn’t take me long to take a stand for myself.

So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.

Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh.

The only thing I would change is during the summer – when I was working my summer job, if I was smart, I would have taken flying lessons at Auburn.

I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me.

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.

Don’t put off until tomorrow the loving words you can say today.

I never put my hands on my mom, and my mom never put her hands on me.

A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

My mother is the most supportive mother in the world, she’s magical.

My mom used to say that I became a fighter and a scrapper and a tough guy to protect who I am at my core.

Before my mother was a King, she climbed trees and wrestled with boys. And won. Even as a child, Coretta Scott demonstrated that her gender would not deter her success, nor did it detract from her strength.

I was brought up by my mother and my two sisters, although they’re older than me and fled the nest very young, so I was technically raised as an only child, but I was very much loved.

Noble passions are like vices: the more they are satisfied, the greater they grow, Mothers and gamblers are insatiable.

Please remember that my great grandmother was a slave. My grandmother was a sharecropper. My mother was a factory worker.
