Rickey Henderson

My impact on the game was going out there and making things happen.

I'm disappointed about how my career ended.

I can't find a job. It makes me crazy.

People recognize me - but if you've been in the public eye as long as I have and people don't recognize you, I feel bad about myself.

When you're a kid, you want to be a millionaire.

Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I'm cocky? Does that mean I'm arrogant?

I don't think I ever got proper credit about being smart about the game.

I wanted to be a part of something special and contributing to the launch of a new league was very exciting to me.

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

If you look at some of the people in the Hall of Fame, my numbers are compatible.

My journey as a player is complete.

I love playing this game and every spring training feels like the first.
