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

Simon Sinek

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

Jose Altuve

If you had told me when I was a kid that I'd have 100 home runs in the Major Leagues one day, it'd probably put a pretty good smile on my face.

Buster Posey

Well, I wanted to play twenty years in the major leagues. I never made it twenty though. I played nineteen.

Bert Campaneris

I knew I'd never make it back to the major leagues as a player. Lee MacPhail came to me and asked if I wanted to manage the Yankees' Fort Lauderdale club. I thought about it for a day or two and decided to take the job. That was the turning point. I knew it was what I wanted to do.

Bobby Cox

Obviously, I'm a shortstop at heart. I want to continue to play shortstop.

Manny Machado

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 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

I always wanted to be a shortstop so I could play more often!

Jim Abbott

I had been in Russia for five years and had a pretty successful run, and I just kind of wanted a change. I wanted to see different things. They're pretty equal leagues, but there was less travel involved in Turkey.

Jordan Larson

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

I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.

Johan Santana

I was not bitter by not being allowed to play in the major leagues. I just said, 'The time has not come.'

Buck Leonard

I thank those people that thought I had lost the agility to play shortstop, because they gave me more motivation.

Asdrubal Cabrera

On my youth teams, I always pretty good. I guess I just really started to play with some of my peers around age 8 or 9. We always battled and had fun playing in the rec leagues.

Brandon Ingram

You should have seen Willie Wells play shortstop: as good as Ozzie Smith and a better hitter. How I wish people could have seen Ray Dandridge play third base, as good as Brooks Robinson and Craig Nettles and all of those. He was bowlegged; a train might go through there, but not a baseball.

Monte Irvin
