I'm A Walking Record.

When I Was Growing Up, My Favorite Player Was Reggie Jackson - And I Never Got The Opportunity To Get An Autograph From Reggie. I Was So Frustrated. I Mean, He Was My Idol. And I Couldn't Get No Autograph. I Would Go Through Punishment Waiting On Him (after Games) Because He Was Always The Last Guy To Come Out. And I Would Go Back Home With No Autograph.

It Gave Me No Chance. He (nolan Ryan) Just Blew It (strikeout #5,000) By Me. But Its An Honor. I'll Have Another Paragraph In All The Baseball Books. I'm Already In The Books Three Or Four Times.

My Dream Was To Play Football For The Oakland Raiders. But My Mother Thought I Would Get Hurt Playing Football, So She Chose Baseball For Me. I Guess Moms Do Know Best.

People Always Ask Me Why I Still Want To Play, But I Want To Know Why No One Will Give Me An Opportunity. It's Like They Put A Stamp On Me: 'hall Of Fame. You're Done. That's It.' It's A Goddamn Shame.

Don't Worry, Rickey, You're Still The Best.
