You have to do something when you're lying in bed. So you play with your mind. ↗

I've been on teams that lost a hundred games in a season. I've been on teams that had a shot to make the playoffs and fizzled out at the end. ↗

If I stayed in this game for individual achievements, I don't think I'd still be playing. ↗

I'm no different than others with cancer. I just happen to play professional baseball. I'm part of those statistics that cancer has touched as well. ↗

You fool around with different pitches playing catch, but it's not the same when you've got to face some guy with a bat in his hand. ↗

I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do. ↗

I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect. ↗

I'm being compared to the impossible. I never saw Mays, Aaron or Clemente play. What about the people I face every day? Tim Raines is the best? Mattingly is the best? Why not compare me to my peers? ↗

I'm not head-strong, and I'm not egotistical. I understand certain things better now. I won't be trying to be play everyday. There's only one Cal Ripken, one Lou Gehrig and one Joe DiMaggio. What is good for them isn't necessarily good for Eric Davis. ↗

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. ↗
