I've played for teams that were family-oriented organizations. They made you feel like family. The Yankees are strictly a business. Baseball is your life and everything else is secondary. Gary Sheffield baseballbusinessfamily Change image and share on social
Regardless of what you're searching, you ain't gonna find it until you include God. Because, if you have a problem with women, drugs, or whatever the case may be, the only person that can fix that problem is God. Gary Sheffield casedrugfind share on social
If I'm coming in at 4:00 in the morning and my kids have been in bed since 8:00, 9:00, that's not setting a good example. The responsibility that I have kids inside my household has made me realize now that I have to be an example. Gary Sheffield bedcomegood share on social
I've been the best player on every team that I played on, so if I can't be the poster child of your team, then what else is it? It's got to be a black-white issue.

Bottom line, what I see, I talk about... I see it over and over. If anybody can show me I'm wrong, then show me. Gary Sheffield academybaseballbottom share on social
I tell myself every offseason I'm not going to say anything crazy. I'm just going to have a peaceful season... Can't do it. I'm cut from a different cloth. Gary Sheffield clothcrazycut Change image and share on social
When McGwire started the home run mania, attendance came back. The owners understood that the sudden spike in homers wasn't accidental. All baseball knew it. But baseball is run on money, and home runs meant money. Baseball turned a blind eye. Gary Sheffield accidentalattendanceback share on social
I thought I knew there was a God. I always acknowledged that, but at the same time, I didn't live by those laws. Gary Sheffield acknowledgegodknow Change image and share on social
