A Quote by Aaron Judge

Even in the Minor Leagues, I thought you have to go out and earn a spot. Nothing is ever given to you.

Any time you're in the coaching business or managing in the minor leagues, when you see a player who has made it to the major leagues, you get a thrill out of that.

Ryne Sandberg

Everybody in the minor leagues - if you're a player, an announcer, whatever - wants to be in the big leagues.

Ernie Harwell

The minor leagues were great. When you first sign, that is your big leagues.

Brian Roberts

I played good ball in the minor leagues, and that's why they called me up to the major leagues.

Jose Altuve

As a 20th round pick nothing was handed to me in the minor leagues.

Mike Lowell

I wanted to be in the big leagues, not stuck in the minor leagues.

Aroldis Chapman

I kept listening in the minor leagues, and even earlier than that, people would say, 'If you don't hit the fastball, you're not going to get to the big leagues.' Every game, you're going to get a fastball.

Jose Altuve

In my humble opinion, again, to perform at Alabama, you must earn the spot and not have it given to you. You have to fight like crazy to keep the spot and that it's not guaranteed - it's week to week - and you'll play in a way that they have a chance to win a championship.

John Calipari

I went to college for a reason, and that was to skip the minor leagues. I spent a year in the minors and got my at-bats in, and then I felt like I was ready for the big leagues.

Mark Teixeira

Even though my dad was a manager in the minor leagues, I still traveled around with him and saw it from the field out. Now, as an owner, you're kind of looking from the whole baseball activity from outside in, from a fan's perspective.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

It's not always easy to make a name for yourself. You've gotta earn it. Because nothing's ever given.

Andrew Wiggins

I still carry it with me that I'm a I-AA guy and I had to go down to the minor leagues in college football and prove who I was.

Joe Flacco

Every time I step onto the field, whether people like it or not, I'm not trying to play dirty - I'm just playing tough. And I'm trying to earn my spot on the team. I'm trying to earn a starting spot. I'm trying to become a complete midfielder who attacks, who defends. So that's the mindset.

Carli Lloyd

Curiously enough, the only two plays that I've done very much revision on were the two adaptations - even though the shape of them was pretty much determined by the original work. With my own plays, the only changes, aside from taking a speech out here, putting one in there (if I thought I dwelled on a point a little too long or didn't make it explicit enough), are very minor; but even though they're very minor - having to do with the inability of actors or the unwillingness of the director to go along with me - I've always regretted them.
