In Baseball You Train The Whole Body,

The Only Thing I Wish I Could Figure Out Is How I Got Misunderstood Regarding The Type Of Person I Really Am And What I Accomplished.

A Good Friend Of Mine Took Me Out And Had Me Hit Off A Tee. He Made Me Understand What Was My Strike Zone And - With My Speed - The Importance Of Making Contact. So I Give Him A Lot Of Credit For Changing My Game And Making Me The Player I Became. He Showed Me How To Work On Me And My Game, And Not Worry About Patterning Myself After Someone Else And Focusing On What They Were Capable Of Doing Rather Than What I Was Capable Of Doing.

Well, Rickey's Not One Of Them, So That's 49 Percent Right There.

I Told Myself That If I Ever Make It To The Big Leagues That I Would Be The One To Appreciate The Fans. Take A Little Time Out To Sign Autographs And Shake Their Hands And Say Hello To Them.

Let's See, For Breakfast Rickey Will Have Bacon And Eggs, And Grits If I Can Get 'em.
