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

There's a lot of disrespect in the major leagues. I believe that the disrespect in the major leagues is at a high rate and is really bad for the gam

Bengie Molina

I'd rather play in the major leagues and have some bad games than play consistently good ball in the minors.

Simon Sinek

I enjoyed hitting in the Major Leagues more than in the Minor Leagues. I didn't want to tell anybody it was easier, because I didn't want to sound cocky. But Major League pitchers had better control, and most of them were around the plate.

Willie McCovey

Everyone is a little bitter. We're born bitter. The personality itself is really just a very complex defense mechanism. A reaction to the first time someone said, "No you can't.

Marc Maron

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

Jose Altuve

I thought I was a pretty good shortstop, but I also wanted to play in the major leagues.

Too bad integration didn't come sooner, because there were so many ballplayers that could have made the major leagues. That's why, you look back, and - not to take away anything from Babe Ruth or some of those other guys - they didn't play against the greatest ballplayers in the world.

Al Kaline

We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time.

Steve Yzerman

I'm just enjoying playing baseball in the major leagues.

Matt Holliday

I forget what his name was, but Tucker Carlson said, "Well, look, do you think that anybody who wants to come into the country should be allowed?" He said, "Yes. Anybody who wants to come to America should be allowed to come to America. That's what America's for."

Rush Limbaugh

If I thought about it, I could be bitter, but I don't feel like being bitter. Being bitter makes you immobile, and there's too much that I still want to do.

Richard Pryor

No one ever came up to me and said: "You need to reshape your body, to lose weight, or to be more outgoing, or less outgoing". We were just allowed to be us, and I think at the end of the day, isn't that the whole point of being a human being? To be allowed to be yourself, to be accepted the way you are?
