Quote

I want to be part of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, but I don't want to be part of the kind of Hall of Fame that's based on voters' beliefs and assumptions.

I was a baseball fan myself, I wanted to play baseball.

There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.

Not everybody's a baseball fan.

When I went to high school, my most passionate desire was to be a professional baseball player. But something within me told me that was not going to happen.

I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player.

I enjoy baseball more than anything and would like to be involved with it forever, but the reality is your survival is determined by how well you compete, not by your fondness for the game.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.
