I Don't Smoke. Smoking Will Hurt You

See The Ball; Hit The Ball.

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.

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.

When I Get The Record, All It Will Make Me Is The Player With The Most Hits. I'm Also The Player With The Most At Bats And The Most Outs. I Never Said I Was A Greater Player Than (ty) Cobb.

I Was Born On The Day Lincoln Was Shot And The Titanic Sank.
