More From Rickey Henderson

Swing your swing. not some idea of a swing. not a swing you saw on tv. not that swing you wish you had. no, swing your swing. capable of greatness. prized only by you. perfect in it's imperfection. swing your swing. i know, i did.
Greatness Swings Ideas
After watching my first world series in 1977, i wanted to be reggie jackson. i bought a big reggie poster. i ate reggie candy bars. i entered a phase during which i insisted on having the same style of glasses reggie had: gold wire frames with the double bar across.
Glasses Style Wire
How to hit home runs: i swing as hard as i can, and i try to swing right through the ball... the harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. i swing big, with everything i've got. i hit big or i miss big. i like to live as big as i can.
Baseball Running Home
A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course. a lot of guys can go out and hit a golf ball, but they have no idea how to manage what they do with the ball. i've won as many golf tournaments hitting the ball badly as i have hitting the ball well.

When i was growing up, my favorite player was reggie jackson - and i never got the opportunity to get an autograph from reggie. i was so frustrated. i mean, he was my idol. and i couldn't get no autograph. i would go through punishment waiting on him (after games) because he was always the last guy to come out. and i would go back home with no autograph.
Growing Up Home Mean
Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, i think. it's like tennis in the most cliched way. it's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?

We never really set out to talk about california on the album ['california'], it was something that we noticed that was happening about three-quarters of the way through the recording process. we were looking at which songs we thought would make the record and we realised that there was this theme coming through. i think it's just a product of being in california for as long as i have.

I don't think about who the audience is for my books.
Book Thinking Audience
I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. i want to be light and frolicsome. i want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though i had wings.
Inspirational Beautiful Thinking
A man must first care for his own household before he can be of use to the state. but no matter how well he cares for his household, he is not a good citizen unless he also takes thought of the state. in the same way, a great nation must think of its own internal affairs; and yet it cannot substantiate its claim to be a great nation unless it also thinks of its position in the world at large.
