Willie Stargell

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.

I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.

The Giants were a good team, but our biggest enemy was said to be Candlestick Park.

Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.

Judgment traps you within the limitations of your comparisons. It inhibits freedom.

I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.

I see a lot of people who love their jobs. I see some garbage collectors smiling as they go about their work.

Love soothes wounds, while hatred and violence deepen them.

I love September, especially when we're in it.

We devote our entire lives to becoming good ball players. We take batting practice until our hands bleed.

I'm a God-fearing man who worships with my heart and with my life.
