I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.

Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt.

Pitching in the big leagues is a dream. Preparing to pitch in the big leagues is a nightmare!

It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy.

My job is to give my team a chance to win.

My journey as a player is complete.

I love talking about baserunning.

I don't think I ever got proper credit about being smart about the game.

Well, Rickey's not one of them, so that's 49 percent right there.

Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you're happy to go home.

I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colourful uniform.

If you look at some of the people in the Hall of Fame, my numbers are compatible.

I'm disappointed about how my career ended.

I'm a walking record.

I don't want to be one of those great players who never made it to the (World) Series.

Don't worry, Rickey, you're still the best.

Even the slowest guy can go from first to third and help win a ballgame.

I can still steal a base anytime I get ready.

I can't find a job. It makes me crazy.
