Text Quotes
I don’t mean to be bashful, but I was  (Willie Mays Quotes) I don’t compare ‘em, I just catch ‘em  (Willie Mays Quotes) Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson  (Willie Mays 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  (Willie Mays Quotes) I played with the Birmingham Black Barons. I was making 500 at 14. That was a lot of money in those days  (Willie Mays Quotes) I was very blessed with a good body. Never got hurt. Never was in the hospital. The only time I was in the hospital was when I would get exhausted a little bit, and go in for a check-up or something  (Willie Mays Quotes) If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you’re a good ballplayer  (Willie Mays Quotes) In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one - hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this  (Willie Mays Quotes) Robinson was important to all blacks. To make it into the majors and to take all the name calling, he had to be something special. He had to take all this for years, not just for Jackie Robinson, but for the nation  (Willie Mays Quotes) If I’m compared to Babe Ruth or Willie Mays, that’s great. But I’m just going to go out there and be myself  (Willie Mays Quotes) I think it’s incredible because there were guys like (Willie) Mays and (Mickey) Mantle and Henry Aaron who were great players for ten years... I only had four or five good years  (Willie Mays Quotes) I played with Willie Mays and against Hank Aaron. They were tremendous players, but they were no Josh Gibson  (Willie Mays Quotes) I was very blessed with a good body. Never got hurt. Never was in the hospital. The only time I was in the hospital was when I would get exhausted a little bit, and go in for a check-up or something.  (Willie Mays Quotes) If you want to know who was better, me or Willie Mays, you have to look at our career stats. And Willie’s bottom line was better  (Willie Mays Quotes) I had some great role models along the way. My on-field heroes were the great Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Willie Mays. I wanted to be like them on the field, and I am so damn proud to join them in the Hall of Fame  (Willie Mays Quotes) It isn’t hard to be good from time to time in sports. What is tough, is being good every day.  (Willie Mays Quotes) I was a baseball player, I taught baseball, and all of a sudden I was in the business world. Now I used the baseball world to talk about their product. Not too much, just enough to keep going. Just be yourself and you’ll never have a problem. That’s what I did.  (Willie Mays Quotes) That’s how easy baseball was for me. I’m not trying to brag or anything, but I had the knowledge before I became a professional baseball player to do all these things and know what each guy would hit.  (Willie Mays Quotes) I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don’t have a good life.  (Willie Mays Quotes) I have to give Mays one edge, durability. Mickey isn’t sound and Willie is. Otherwise, if I had a chance to trade for either player, I’d pick Mantle  (Willie Mays Quotes) In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated  (Willie Mays Quotes) Defense to me is the key to playing baseball  (Willie Mays Quotes) I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw  (Willie Mays Quotes) Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was  (Willie Mays Quotes) What’s tough is being good every day  (Willie Mays Quotes) I don’t rate them, I just hit them  (Willie Mays Quotes) I didn’t teach you that. Catch the ball with your glove  (Willie Mays Quotes) Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business  (Willie Mays Quotes) They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it  (Willie Mays Quotes) I've been hearing this since I first joined the Reds organization, that I'm going to be the next this or that. It's tough on a young player coming up. You show some positive things and everybody jumps on that and says you should be the next Willie Mays  (Willie Mays Quotes)
