Lou Brock Was A Great Base Stealer

Oakland Is Home, And You Always Want To Go Home. Anytime You Get The Chance, You're Happy To Go Home.

When I Was A Little-leaguer, I Was Sort Of Famous For Stealing Bases - And It Started Only Because My Mom Wanted To Be Sure Where I Was In The Afternoons. Mom Always Used To Say, "if You Don't Come Home Dirty, You Didn't Play A Baseball Game." So I Always Tried To Get In A Situation Where I Had To Slide So That I Could Go Home Dirty.

Rickey Got A Big Ranch. Rickey Got A Big Bull. Rickey Got Horses. Rickey Got Chickens And Everything. And Rickey Got A 20-gallon Hat.

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

Rickey Was Never Motivated By Stats. He Was Motivated By Numbers. Wins, Runs, Steals.
