I'd Be Willing To Bet You, If

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.

You Know, Baseball's Not Stupid. Baseball Does What The Fans Want, Usually.

The Thing I Would Like Most To Leave Behind Is To Be Remembered For Trying Hard.

My Father Taught Me That The Only Way You Can Make Good At Anything Is To Practice, And Then Practice Some More.

It Doesn't Take Much To Get Me Up For Baseball. Once The National Anthem Plays, I Get Chills. I Even Know The Words To It Now.
