Somehow, I've Been Blessed To Be Able

A Good Friend Of Mine Took Me Out And Had Me Hit Off A Tee. He Made Me Understand What Was My Strike Zone And - With My Speed - The Importance Of Making Contact. So I Give Him A Lot Of Credit For Changing My Game And Making Me The Player I Became. He Showed Me How To Work On Me And My Game, And Not Worry About Patterning Myself After Someone Else And Focusing On What They Were Capable Of Doing Rather Than What I Was Capable Of Doing.

This Is Rickey Calling On Behalf Of Rickey. Rickey Wants To Play Baseball.

I Told Myself That If I Ever Make It To The Big Leagues That I Would Be The One To Appreciate The Fans. Take A Little Time Out To Sign Autographs And Shake Their Hands And Say Hello To Them.

I Have To Play Baseball To Make Me Happy. I Have To Be An Athlete. But When It's All Said And Done, I'll Be A Normal Father. A Normal-type House Man.

My Impact On The Game Was Going Out There And Making Things Happen.
