Rickey was never motivated by stats. He was motivated by numbers. Wins, runs, steals.
I have always had fun playing the game of baseball because I loved it so much.
If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.
Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.
