I see a lot of people who love their jobs. I see some garbage collectors smiling as they go about their work.

I was always a self-proclaimed poor slider.

I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.

I was the most powerful left-handed hitter in the Alameda area.

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only player to hit a ball completely out of Dodger Stadium.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

I've witnessed thousands of superior athletes try to becomes hitters and fail at it.

If a reporter doesn't like the person he's writing about, it shows up in his article.

My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.

Never had I had so many friends and so much fun as I did in the projects.

Never was I booed.

Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.

Reporters often forget that athletes are human beings.

Simple pleasures were all the pleasures that I knew as a child.

That's where the future lies, in the youth of today.

The Giants were a good team, but our biggest enemy was said to be Candlestick Park.
