Zitat des Tages von Lou Brock:
If you're successful in what you do over a period of time, you'll start approaching records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged.
I don't think about goals and records. Competition is what keeps me playing.
Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.
Jim Crow was king... and I heard a game in which Jackie Robinson was playing, and I felt pride in being alive.
Your bat is your life. It's your weapon. You don't want to go into battle with anything that feels less than perfect.
You can't hide God in you. God was not meant to become part of you, and you hide out in the closet. I don't think He wanted that. I think He wanted people to see the Christ in you that reflects Him.
You can't be afraid to make errors! You can't be afraid to be naked before the crowd, because no one can ever master the game of baseball, or conquer it. You can only challenge it.
Some players tell me that since retiring they've had the urge to go somewhere every three days. To satisfy that urge, they may even jump in the car and drive around the block.
When I was a kid, I used to imagine animals running under my bed. I told my dad, and he solved the problem quickly. He cut the legs off the bed.
The stiffer the penalty, the greater the message is sent.
There is a definite loneliness in the game. Most people stay away from you since they think they're intruding upon your time. And after the ball game, when it's 11 o'clock and you want to eat dinner some place, the restaurants are closed.
