soccer baseball football
Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
football crazy hell
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.
running football giving
It is better to give a lick than receive one. If anybody got in my way, I tried to run right through them.
soccer baseball football
I was always active - I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
sports baseball football
Baseball and football are very different games. In a way, both of them are easy. Football is easy if you're crazy as hell. Baseball is easy if you've got patience. They'd both be easier for me if I were a little more crazy - and a little more patient.
soccer football mother
If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.
soccer football baseball
I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.
sports school college
I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
sports running morning
I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.
baseball focused
So you have to be more mentally focused in baseball.
hate blow people
I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.
basketball successful play
I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.
sports school college
It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.
sports missing teammate
If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.
