gets per spends
If he spends $10 million, and that's not unlikely, and let's say he gets 100,000 votes, that's $100 per vote.
best dad left match talked
In a way it was heartbreaking, but I talked to my Dad (Steve) and he talked me through it. I left it all on the mat. I did my best. He just wrestled a better match tonight. Now I will do the best I can to go out with a win.
kept kids quit
The kids competed all game. They never quit in this game. They just kept battling.
believed care guys hard hard-work kids locker paying people towns work
The kids can see that hard work is paying off. They didn't care what people in other towns thought. They believed in the 12 guys in the locker room.
kids want minutes
The kids competed for a full 32 minutes. We want the kids to compete on every possession.
basketball baseball school
I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do.
girl baseball cancer
I'd never heard of colon cancer. Baseball wasn't even important to me. I have a wife and two girls. That's what was important. The doctors told me and all I could say was, 'When are we going to get this thing out?'
strong fall believe
If you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything. I believe everything happens for a reason. If you are strong from within, you can will anything. I'm a firm believer that where there's a will, there's a way.
doctors would-be half
I ate while I was taking chemo. The doctors didn't know. I really didn't get any nausea. I didn't have side effects. I would be drained for a day and a half.
baseball games people
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
spiritual blessing numbers
Blessings can come in a number of ways. The Lord doesn't give you what you want, the Lord gives you what you need.
revenge play momentum
I tell you, revenge plays a big part in momentum down here.
cancer tragedy why-not
Nothing I did contributed to me having cancer, so I can't sit back and say, 'Oh why me.' Why not me? Why does tragedy always have to hit someone else?
next firsts eric
I want to establish myself as the first Eric Davis, not the next Willie Mays.
