And my father didn't have money for me to go to college. And at that particular time they didn't have black quarterbacks, and I don't think I could have made it in basketball, because I was only 5' 11". So I just picked baseball.
It's very warm there, so we were outdoors all the time. The local people had programs for us year-round, where as kids we had the opportunity to play football, basketball, baseball, track and field - we just went from one sport to the next, year-roun...
Involvement in my kids' sports teams is something I have made time for over the years. I've also been able to coach all three of them in baseball and basketball, something that has strengthened our bonds and given me indescribable joy. I wouldn't tra...
I probably follow all sports a little bit. I like hockey quite a bit. I like football. I like college basketball when it gets down to March Madness. I like baseball. I enjoy them all. I watch them all.
All these fifty-year-old guys wearing baseball caps and shorts and acting like children. It winds me up. Men don't have to take responsibility anymore. Most of the guys I know would punch me on the nose for saying this, but maybe we do have to bring ...
You know that everyone thinks that in order to do South Park we must be wild, crazy, rock and roll stars. But the truth is we're just wholesome middle-American guys. We enjoy soda pop, baseball and beating up old people just as much as anybody.
Every year I collect a select amount of material possessions (baseball cards, coins, famous paraphernalia) to pass on to my children. In two or more generations they should have a small fortune of 'ancient' famous items.
It was really tough as a kid going to a Braves game. It was a guaranteed loss. You're looking at 100 losses a year. I was a huge baseball fan, played it for quite a while. But when '91 happened, with Smoltz and Glavine, it turned around, and I will s...
I never had problems with my fellow scientists. Scientists are a friendly, atheistic, hard-working, beer-drinking lot whose minds are preoccupied with sex, chess and baseball when they are not preoccupied with science.
I played rugby from the age of 10 until my late twenties; an unlikely player - small, quiet, long-haired and 'wiry.'

I'm going to go out and try to be the best player I can be and help the Chicago Bears win.
I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.
I started when I was six years old. My first coach was my granny, she was the best player in Slovakia.
I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.
That's what really seems to be the more difficult aspect - to have the men break through and challenge the best players in the world.
In terms of merit, sports has mathematical statistics. That's how you know who the best player is.
Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.
I have to make a lot of decisions that aren't in the best interests of individuals, whether they be owners, club executives, players.
I could care less about sitting around and practicing the guitar for hours a day and trying to be the best guitar player on the planet.
