It took me a while to figure that out and to realize what a gift that I had been given. And when I finally did, I dedicated myself to be the best pitcher I possibly could be, for as long as I possibly could be.
From Nolan Ryan
It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy.
I am going to spend my time today just thanking the people that played a role in my career, because I truly do believe that I was blessed by a lot of people that paths crossed mine as I went down the road in my career.
One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.
Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.
I had the pleasure, as Robin said, to live a childhood dream as many young Americans and Puerto Rican children live that play youth baseball. And I feel honored and very thankful for that opportunity.
My job is to give my team a chance to win.
Everyone has limits. You just have to learn what your own limits are and deal with them accordingly.
And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive, and as it turned out, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And so I do appreciate the Ranger staff and the Ranger organization for giving me that opportunity.
I can honestly say it took two full years for me to get over the fact that I was no longer a baseball player.
