Life is too short to worry about anything  (Eric Davis Quotes) Baseball is not what I love. It’s my job.  (Eric Davis Quotes) I’ll have a stamp on me forever. There will always be questions. I brought new fans to the Orioles’ organization, and that’s good  (Eric Davis Quotes) You don’t protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself  (Eric Davis Quotes) People saw me as being heroic, but I was no more heroic than I was with other injuries I had, like the lacerated kidney I suffered during the 1990 World Series. It’s just that people haven’t known anyone with a lacerated kidney, but everyone can relate to someone with cancer  (Eric Davis Quotes) Nothing I did contributed to me having cancer, so I can’t sit back and say, ‘Oh why me.’ why not me? why does tragedy always have to hit someone else?  (Eric Davis Quotes) Not being re-signed in Baltimore was probably the lowest point, mentally, of my career. That city was the only place where I wanted to be at the time, based on everything that had transpired  (Eric Davis Quotes) I’m not head-strong, and I’m not egotistical. I understand certain things better now. I won’t be trying to be play everyday. There’s only one Cal Ripken, one Lou Gehrig and one Joe DiMaggio.

What about the people I face every day? Tim Raines is the best? Mattingly is the best? Why not compare me to my peers?  (Eric Davis Quotes) When you get back on the field and do things, any doubts you’ve developed leave. The more consistent you become, the fewer doubts you have.  (Eric Davis Quotes) I love the game, it’s the greatest game on Earth, that’s why I can’t understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. why? To speed up the game? That’s the beauty of baseball. There is no time element  (Eric Davis Quotes) I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what’s wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened  (Eric Davis Quotes) For me to become the highest paid player in the franchise, it was something I didn’t anticipate. But I’m glad. I like playing for Cincinnati  (Eric Davis Quotes) Come on, when does it come to the point where your name can’t come up in trade talks? Willie Mays got traded. Pedro Martinez got traded. So what? That’s part of the game  (Eric Davis Quotes) Circulating through the children’s ward and seeing terminally ill kids, heads shaved, smiling and having a ball despite the tubes and needles sticking into them, I thought: What do I have to worry about? If God takes me, at least I’ve lived for 35 years  (Eric Davis Quotes) It’s easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they’re saying that they don’t respect you. You have to change their thinking  (Eric Davis Quotes) I don’t want to be famous. I want to be secure. I don’t want the world. I just want a piece of it. I want people to remember Eric Davis  (Eric Davis Quotes) I’m no different than others with cancer. I just happen to play professional baseball. I’m part of those statistics that cancer has touched as well.  (Eric Davis Quotes) If you don’t believe in something, you’ll fall for anything. I believe everything happens for a reason. If you are strong from within, you can will anything.

I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I’ve always known it was better to be seen and not heard.  (Eric Davis Quotes) That’s just my family’s mentality. We are a very loving, hugging and kissing kind of family. And we grew up in a church atmosphere and still have that atmosphere. There is no negativity.  (Eric Davis Quotes) Never give up and don’t ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I’m a firm believer that I don’t worry about anything I can’t control.  (Eric Davis Quotes) I ate while I was taking chemo. The doctors didn’t know. I really didn’t get any nausea. I didn’t have side effects. I would be drained for a day and a half.  (Eric Davis Quotes) It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I’d rather spend my energy smiling.  (Eric Davis Quotes) Socially, it is funny. People are annoyed because, really who is a clown?.  (Eric Davis Quotes) I’m having a good time.
