He (shoeless Joe Jackson) Was The Finest

I've Been Called One Of The Hardest Bargainers Who Ever Held Out, And I'm Proud Of It.

I've Got To Be First. All The Time.

When I Played Ball, I Didn't Play For Fun. . . . It's No Pink Tea, And Mollycoddles Had Better Stay Out. It's A Contest And Everything That Implies, A Struggle For Supremacy, A Survival Of The Fittest.

The Base Paths Belonged To Me, The Runner. The Rules Gave Me The Right. I Always Went Into A Bag Full Speed, Feet First. I Had Sharp Spikes On My Shoes. If The Baseman Stood Where He Had No Business To Be And Got Hurt, That Was His Fault.

He (shoeless Joe Jackson) Was The Finest Natural Hitter In The History Of The Game.
