Running Home Boys

More From Rickey Henderson

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

But this is the point i want to make: when you talk about steroids and you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run hitters of all time-hank aaron, babe ruth and willie mays, right? when they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged? the three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs at age 39. now, how many home runs did barry bonds hit when he was 39? he hit 73!

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. but do not marry them. the things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. when it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. these men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

After i hit a home run i had a habit of running the bases with my head down. i figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

Great progress was made when arbitration treaties were concluded in which the contracting powers pledge in advance to submit all conflicts to an arbitration court, treaties which not only specify the composition of the court, but also its procedure.

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. but do not marry them. the things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands.

It's nice to finally be thought of as sexy. i'm very disconnected from the sensual side of me, i know it's in me, but it doesn't really reveal itself very often in my personal life, which i do find problematic.

I don't want people thinking of me sexually. i don't want people to be like, 'she's hot-looking,' you know? i want them to listen to me for what i am saying. and i think the best way to do that is to sniff my armpits, and like, sit and burp every now and then. it just completely throws people off. i had a couple of offers to do some hot scenes in the shower with some guy and to make it real hot and sexy. the next thing you know, i'd be the next j.lo or something. but that's easy. i want it the hard way.

Why do a crappy film role when you can do a meaty stage role? and ...i'm not small and curvy and i don't fit the prerequiste for small, passive, sexy chicks.

The careers that i admire and actually try to emulate are those of julianne moore and annette bening. those women, to me, make amazing choices. they're sexy, beautiful women, but that doesn't dictate their choices.
