I have great faith that Heaven's there and I'll see my brothers and my mom and dad when I get there.
I have a great faith in God and Jesus.
I've found that if you wear a beret, people think you're either a cabdriver or a producer of dirty movies.
Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm.
I praise the Lord here today. I know that all my talent and all my ability comes from him, and without him I'm nothing and I thank him for his great blessing.
I just have faith. It's just there. It's not any big deal.
Baseball is a rookie, his experience no bigger than the lump in his throat as he begins fulfillment of his dream.
