All I'm Asking For Is

I Patterned Myself After Reggie Jackson. I Wanted To Have That Same Swing And Hit Some Homeruns. When I Was Down In A-ball, I Was Trying To Be Reggie Jackson And I Was Striking Out All The Time. And I Was Like, 'this Isn't The Way Reggie Is Doing It, So I Got To Change.'

I Have Always Had Fun Playing The Game Of Baseball Because I Loved It So Much.

If You Look At Some Of The People In The Hall Of Fame, My Numbers Are Compatible.

Oakland Is Home, And You Always Want To Go Home. Anytime You Get The Chance, You're Happy To Go Home.

When I Was A Little-leaguer, I Was Sort Of Famous For Stealing Bases - And It Started Only Because My Mom Wanted To Be Sure Where I Was In The Afternoons. Mom Always Used To Say, "if You Don't Come Home Dirty, You Didn't Play A Baseball Game." So I Always Tried To Get In A Situation Where I Had To Slide So That I Could Go Home Dirty.
