I don't really feel that I deserve all my applause.
From Willie Stargell
We all wore a 21 patch that one season as a silent tribute to our deceased teammate Roberto.
People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.
I was the most powerful left-handed hitter in the Alameda area.
Oakland revolved around Forbes Field. Nothing in the city could match that atmosphere.
We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed.
Reporters often forget that athletes are human beings.
When we make a mistake, it becomes front-page news. We don't need any reporter telling us how badly we played.
I've always been a slave to my heart.
I gave out stars whenever an appropriate situation presented itself.
