Today I Am The Greatest Of All

Just Because I Believed In What I Was Doing On The Field And Dedicated Myself To Playing The Game, Does That Mean I'm Cocky? Does That Mean I'm Arrogant?

You Never Had The Opportunity To Play With Some Of The Great Ballplayers, But Being That Close Around Them, And Being In The Same Category, Was A Great Feeling, To Feel That Vibe Of All The Best Players Who Played The Game.

Listen: People Are Always Saying, 'rickey Says Rickey.' But It's Been Blown Way Out Of Proportion. People Might Catch Me, When They Know I'm Ticked Off, Saying, 'rickey, What The Heck Are You Doing, Rickey?' They Say, 'darn, Rickey, What Are You Saying Rickey For? Why Don't You Just Say, 'i?' But I Never Did. I Always Said, 'rickey,' And It Become Something For People To Joke About.

I Was Stealing All The Bases, And When You Had To Go To Arbitration They Said, 'you Know, Only The Big Boys Make The Money.' So I Got To Try And Figure Out How To Hit A Home Run, Too.

I Like Playing For Oakland, They Have A Very Colorful Uniform.
