Quote of the day: Willie Stargell

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman and Hall of Famer Willie Stargell on growing into greatness:

“Kids today all want to be superstars. They don’t want to take a backseat to anybody. Where we were brought up, we were in awe of people. I still am. Being in the Hall of Fame with people like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron … I still don’t know how to put all that together. When I rub shoulders with Ted Williams and Willie Mays, I know I’m in the same fraternity, but to me they’re still a cut above.”
