I'm Just Like Everybody Else. I Have

There Is An Old Saying That Money Can't Buy Happiness. If It Could, I Would Buy Myself Four Hits Every Game.

I Haven't Missed A Game In Two-and-a-half Years. I Go To The Park As Sick As A Dog And, When I See My Uniform Hanging There, I Get Well Right Now. Then I See Some Of You Guys (media) And I Get Sick Again.

With The Money I'm Making, I Should Be Playing Two Positions.

I'm No Different From Anybody Else With Two Arms, Two Legs, And Forty-two Hundred Hits.

People Say I Don't Have Great Tools. They Say That I Can't Throw Like Ellis Valentine Or Run Like Tim Raines Or Hit With Power Like Mike Schmidt. Who Can? I Make Up For It In Other Ways, By Putting Out A Little Bit More. That's My Theory, To Go Through Life Hustling. In The Big Leagues, Hustle Usually Means Being In The Right Place At The Right Time. It Means Backing Up A Base. It Means Backing Up Your Teammate. It Means Taking That Headfirst Slide. It Means Doing Everything You Can Do To Win A Baseball Game.
