Oakland Is Home, And You Always Want

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

When I Was Growing Up, My Favorite Player Was Reggie Jackson - And I Never Got The Opportunity To Get An Autograph From Reggie. I Was So Frustrated. I Mean, He Was My Idol. And I Couldn't Get No Autograph. I Would Go Through Punishment Waiting On Him (after Games) Because He Was Always The Last Guy To Come Out. And I Would Go Back Home With No Autograph.

I Have Always Had Fun Playing The Game Of Baseball Because I Loved It So Much.

Rickey Doesn't Have Albums, Rickey Has Cds.
