Judgment traps you within the limitations of your comparisons. It inhibits freedom.

Oakland revolved around Forbes Field. Nothing in the city could match that atmosphere.

I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

To be successful, one must take chances.

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball." They say, "Play ball."

My children's books are written on the belief that every child has a talent and a passion. Each story unfolds into an adventure of nurturing that confidence until a passion blooms.

Think of the solution, not the problem
