Maybe I Was Born To Play Ball.

When I Was In Birmingham I Used To Go To A Place Called Redwood Field. I Used To Get There For A Two O'clock Game. Where Can You Make This Kind Of Money Playing Sports? It Was Just A Pleasure To Go Out And Enjoy Myself And Get Paid For It.

It Isn't Hard To Be Good From Time To Time In Sports. What Is Tough, Is Being Good Every Day.

"and My Father Didn't Have Money For Me To Go To College. And At That Particular Time They Didn't Have Black Quarterbacks, And I Don't Think I Could Have Made It In Basketball, Because I Was Only 5′ 11". So I Just Picked Baseball."

Every Time I Look At My Pocketbook, I See Jackie Robinson.

In Order To Excel, You Must Be Completely Dedicated.
