I chose baseball because to me baseball is the best game of all.

Baseball realizes it's not the only game in town. You have to do these kinds of things to introduce people to baseball.

Tom Cruise only makes one or two film appearances a year. A baseball player can be the hero or the goat one-hundred and sixty-two times a year.

All though I didn't meet him. His legend and his saga and his story is just that. Jackie Robinson, we all have to tip our hat to him. Because he made the game available to guys like me.

To the people out there, baseball is a simple sport. But it is complex. It is never easy.

There is no way, believe me, despite my name being Winfield, and loving the game dearly. It wasn't in the cards. I didn't know what it was going to take to get here.
