I don’t care what you do – baseball or politics – George W. Bush is always going to be compared to his father. I just want it to be an easy answer in 50 years – Who was the better player, me, or my kids? I want it to be my kids.
Andy Van Slyke Quotes
I can only guess that, for guys in their 30s and 40s who watched me play, they understood that the score never mattered and my paycheck never mattered (in relation) to how I played. I played with Little League enthusiasm and professional flair. That's what fans are really looking for.

About
Andy Van Slyke is an American professional baseball coach and retired Major League Baseball outfielder. He is the 2014 first base coach of the Seattle Mariners and formerly served in the same post on Jim Leyland's Detroit Tigers coaching staff. He began his career the first two years by playing first base, third base, and all three outfield positions. Van Slyke mostly played right field the next two years on the strength of his throwing arm, occasionally platooning with Tito Landrum or substituting for Willie McGee in center field. Once Van Slyke became a full-time outfielder, he showed off one of the most accurate and powerful throwing arms in the majors, so much that the "Slyke Zone" was established at Three Rivers Stadium. Overall, Van Slyke played for four different teams in his career: In his 13-year career, Van Slyke appeared in three All-Star games, won five Gold Gloves Awards, two Silver Slugger Awards, and ranked in the top 10 in many offensive categories in varying seasons.
