"It's impossible, but it's a fact."

"I never wanted to be a dentist, but if I had, I would've been a great one."

"I think it's the greatest thing that ever happened to baseball, having Jackie Robinson break the color line."

"Baseball is a simple game - hit the ball, run, catch the ball, throw the ball, repeat."

"I've been to every ballpark in America and seen every type of pitcher imaginable."

"The key to great success is learning to handle failure."

"Life is about the journey, not just the destination."

"I always believed that with hard work and determination, anything is possible."

"The home run has always been my bread and butter."

"People love a good show, and I gave them what they wanted."

"I never made a promise I couldn't break."

"The moment you let fear dictate your choices, you've already lost."

"I played the game like I lived my life - with passion and no regrets."

"You've got to have a lot of guts to try something new."

"The secret to success is in the follow-through."
