“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.”

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.

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

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

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.

It enrages me to see only certain players singled out for the Hall of Fame because they were born with a God-given specialty.

The whole history of baseball has the quality of mythology.

I can wear a baseball cap; I am entitled to wear a baseball cap. I am genetically pre-disposed to wear a baseball cap, whereas most English people look wrong in a baseball cap.

I think my mom and dad did a great job with that, because we [with brother] never had any competition in baseball. We always tried to help each other.

I’ve played everything – baseball, football, basketball. I can still swim a mile a day. That’s why I can’t walk.

I was planning to be a baseball player until I ran into something called a curveball. And that set me back.

I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.

I did not vote Labour because they’ve heard of Oasis and nobody is going to vote Tory because William Hague has got a baseball cap.
