Bats Quote by Billie Jean King

“I always respect right off the bat because we are human, but then over time you learn who the person truly is, just like they learn about you. Hope it works out really well, and you hope that builds a stronger connection over time. You can't be friends with everybody.” quote by Billie Jean King — Download Open image
