“I'm a businessman. I bring my bat and glove and attache case to the of...” — Reggie Jackson Quote

I'm a businessman. I bring my bat and glove and attache case to the office and go to work. I don't give a damn if the other workers at the office like me or not.

I am not merely a baseball player. I am a black man who has done what he wants, gotten what he wanted, and will continue to get it.

When people push back on you and don't think you can do it, and you struggle a little bit and wonder if they're right, it drives you to be successful and to be a great player.

Please God, let me hit one. I'll tell everybody you did it.

October, that's when they pay off for playing ball.

Cam Newton, his best throw is better than anybody's best throw. I'm gonna say that right off the bat. But I will take consistency over volatile play any day of the week.

My main strength is my bowling, but where I bat, I can also contribute for the team, and that is important.

The bowler wants to win the game. The batsman needs to bat well to get runs. No question about it.

You want to give your best and be the best batsman for the team. So, whenever I go in to bat, I always believe in giving the best. I take it as a challenge every time.

On my teams, as a guy who grew up hunting and fishing, I was in the minority in terms of music and lifestyle. I became good friends with people who listened to R&B and rap. But it wasn't just an issue of being around it - I was naturally drawn to it right off the bat.
