You can't get real happy or real depressed when you play baseball. Baseball is a great sport in that it offers a player a lot of opportunities for atonement. Mike Piazza
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players. Mike Piazza

If you're going to trade me, trade me. Whenever they are going to do, let them do it so I can situated. Antonio Davis
I've been shooting the ball and running a little bit. It's just going out here now and forgetting that I've been out and try to get back in and make sure I know what's going on out there on the floor and that we're just not lost as a team. Antonio Davis
