Reggie Jackson was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1993.  These quotes show a bit of arrogance and a sense of humor.  (Note: The Gold Glove in baseball goes to the best fielder at each position; Reggie Jackson was primarily a hitter.)

“Fans don’t boo nobodies”

“I think he likes me.” – On California Angels owner Gene Autry signing him to a large contract

“The only reason I don’t like playing in the World Series is I can’t watch myself play.”

“I was reminded that when we lose and I strike out, a billion people in China don’t care.”

“The only way I’m going to win a Gold Glove is with a can of spray paint.”

When you’ve played this game for 10 years, gone to bat 7,000 times and gotten 2,000 hits, do you know what that really means?  If means you’ve gone zero for 5,000!”
