I Don't Want To Be One Of

Today I Am The Greatest Of All Time.

I Patterned Myself After Reggie Jackson. I Wanted To Have That Same Swing And Hit Some Homeruns. When I Was Down In A-ball, I Was Trying To Be Reggie Jackson And I Was Striking Out All The Time. And I Was Like, 'this Isn't The Way Reggie Is Doing It, So I Got To Change.'

If They're Going To Pay Me Like [mike] Gallego, I'm Going To Play Like Gallego.

Listen: People Are Always Saying, 'rickey Says Rickey.' But It's Been Blown Way Out Of Proportion. People Might Catch Me, When They Know I'm Ticked Off, Saying, 'rickey, What The Heck Are You Doing, Rickey?' They Say, 'darn, Rickey, What Are You Saying Rickey For? Why Don't You Just Say, 'i?' But I Never Did. I Always Said, 'rickey,' And It Become Something For People To Joke About.

Somehow, I've Been Blessed To Be Able To Have The Young Spirit Inside - Not Feel Like Every Year I Get A Year Older. I Feel Like Every Year I Get A Year Younger. I Don't Wake Up In The Morning With Aches And Pains.
