"Greatness is not captured in statistics. It's captured in stories...I don't think I am all that different from the kid I used to be, who was fascinated by the stories of hard-nosed guys from small towns who took on the world and made their mark. And I don't think that kid was any different from the kid down the street or across town. We all love these stories, and we are all shaped by them" (Wayne Gretzky).
