Rickey Henderson

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

In baseball you train the whole body, except for the hip and eyes.

People say I stole a lot of bases. I stole the bases for a reason. I crossed the plate.

One thing I love most about New York is the variety of amazing foods you can eat. My all-time favorite is the Chicken Parmigianino at Jean Georges.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

In my stunted career as a scholar, I'd read promissory notes, papal bulls and guidelines for Inquisitorial interrogation. Dante, too. Boccaccio... But after 1400? Nihil.
