"I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager and never, ever your uniform.
Make a great play?
Act like you’ve done it before.
Get a big hit?
Look for the third base coach and get ready to run the bases.
Hit a home run?
Put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more;
A lot more important than the name on the back.
I was a baseball player at North Central High School in Spokane, Washington, even though I was "All-City" in basketball, even when I signed a letter of intent to play quarterback at Washington State.
I love to play baseball.
I'm a baseball player.
I've always been a baseball player.
I'm still a baseball player.
That's who I am."
Ryne Sandberg.
