I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me... but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.

The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault.

Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.
