“When I was a little-leaguer, I was sort of famous for stealing bases - and it started only because my mom wanted to be sure where I was in the afternoons. Mom always used to say, "If you don't come home dirty, you didn't play a baseball game." So I always tried to get in a situation where I had to slide so that I could go home dirty.” IfsLittlesPlayHomeWantedUsedGamesSituationMomBaseballBasesMy MomStealingDirtyComing HomeAfternoonSlidesBaseball Games Author:Rickey Henderson
