I don’t believe in playing just one sport. I believe it results in burnout, and each sport trains your body in a different way. Keith Hernandez Read Quote
I played football in the fall when I was in high school. Then basketball, a different conditioning – you’re running up and down the courts. Then you come into baseball, you’re doing a sprint to hit a triple. Keith Hernandez Read Quote
In New York, I have a photo of my parents on their wedding day in 1947. They’re beaming at home plate in Houston’s Buffalo Stadium. I love the photo because my dad is smiling. He didn’t smile much in his later years. Keith Hernandez Read Quote
Baseball began early for me. When I was 5, my father took two Little League bats and put them on a lathe. He whittled them down and sanded the bats so they were the proper size for my brother and me. He began by throwing tennis balls to us. Eventually, we practiced hitting and fielding at a field near our house. Keith Hernandez Read Quote

I went through a lot of hard times. I went through a lot of struggle. A few times, I was in tears. It brought me to my knees just about. Keith Hernandez Read Quote
