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

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

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.

I can still steal a base anytime I get ready.

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

I wanted to be a part of something special and contributing to the launch of a new league was very exciting to me.

I haven't had the time to say, 'I'm retiring.' But baseball says, 'You're retired.'

In baseball you train the whole body, except for the hip and eyes.

People say I stole a lot of bases. I stole the bases for a reason. I crossed the plate.

Let's see, for breakfast Rickey will have bacon and eggs, and grits if I can get 'em.

I have always had fun playing the game of baseball because I loved it so much.

When you're a kid, you want to be a millionaire.
