People Always Ask Me How I Can

I'd Never Heard Of Colon Cancer. Baseball Wasn't Even Important To Me. I Have A Wife And Two Girls. That's What Was Important. The Doctors Told Me And All I Could Say Was, 'when Are We Going To Get This Thing Out?'

I'm Being Compared To The Impossible. I Never Saw Mays, Aaron Or Clemente Play. What About The People I Face Every Day? Tim Raines Is The Best? Mattingly Is The Best? Why Not Compare Me To My Peers?

I Think We Now Come To The Park Expecting To Win Instead Of Playing Not To Lose.

I Will Be A Role Model For Cancer Patients For The Rest Of My Life. But You Know What? When I Was Getting Chemo, Those People Inspired Me.

People Spend Time Worrying About Things They Think They Have To Have And Lose Perception Of What They Do Have. You Can Have All The Money And Material Things You Want. If You Aren't Here To Enjoy Them, What Good Do They Do?
