Once You Accept Defeat, It Becomes Ease

Am I Still In Uniform? Then I Ain't Retired.

I'm Just Like Everybody Else. I Have Two Arms, Two Legs And Four-thousand Hits.

Unfortunately, Gambling And Winning Don't Often Go Hand-in-hand.

People Say I Don't Have Great Tools. They Say That I Can't Throw Like Ellis Valentine Or Run Like Tim Raines Or Hit With Power Like Mike Schmidt. Who Can? I Make Up For It In Other Ways, By Putting Out A Little Bit More. That's My Theory, To Go Through Life Hustling. In The Big Leagues, Hustle Usually Means Being In The Right Place At The Right Time. It Means Backing Up A Base. It Means Backing Up Your Teammate. It Means Taking That Headfirst Slide. It Means Doing Everything You Can Do To Win A Baseball Game.

Baseball Is An Individual Game, But It Should Never Be A Personal Game.
