In life, you need many more things besides talent. Things like good advice and common sense.

Kids, don't be too big to accept advice.

There are many kids in and out of baseball who think that just because they have some natural talent, they have the world by the tail.

Rosa Parks' entire career has been one as working as a civil rights activist.

Oh, my God, I don't think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

The captain thing was really an honor, and it was really flattering for me. It was really something that I didn't expect, and I would say that was the highlight of my career so far, being elected captain by my peers.
