Quotes

I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard. Eric Davis
I was able to get operated on four days after I was diagnosed. It was just a matter of getting this baseball-sized tumor out of me. I reflect now on how lucky I was to be in the situation where I could get the best possible help and treatment. Eric Davis
I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be. Eric Davis
Eric Davis quote: "Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get..."
Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy. Eric Davis
I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect. Eric Davis
I was hitting .360 when I was diagnosed. I didn't forget how to play while I was recovering. I don't know if the cancer is gone for good. I don't think anyone ever knows, but no one is going to steal my joy for as along as I'm able to play baseball. Eric Davis
I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what's wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened. Eric Davis
People always ask me how I can hit the ball so far, and I say, 'I just swing.' It's the coaches who first told me I had good bat speed. I was just swinging, and I guess it was fast. I'm pretty fast at everything. Eric Davis
I'm not head-strong, and I'm not egotistical. I understand certain things better now. I won't be trying to be play everyday. There's only one Cal Ripken, one Lou Gehrig and one Joe DiMaggio. What is good for them isn't necessarily good for Eric Davis. Eric Davis
Eric Davis quote: "There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times...."
There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he might hit 100 homers. Eric Davis
Eric Davis quote: "My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I..."
My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I can do that, everything will take care of itself. Eric Davis
I don't want to be famous. I want to be secure. I don't want the world. I just want a piece of it. I want people to remember Eric Davis. Eric Davis
I was disappointed in everything - my start and the team's start. People got down on me, but I never got down on myself. I still believed I could be the type of player everyone, including me, thought I was going to be. Eric Davis
I don't listen to what people say about me and I don't read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I'm not going to worry about it. Eric Davis
Not being re-signed in Baltimore was probably the lowest point, mentally, of my career. That city was the only place where I wanted to be at the time, based on everything that had transpired. Eric Davis
