It's Hard To Beat A

As Soon As I Got Out There I Felt A Strange Relationship With The Pitcher's Mound. It Was As If I'd Been Born Out There. Pitching Just Felt Like The Most Natural Thing In The World. Striking Out Batters Was Easy.

If It Wasn't For Baseball, I'd Be In Either The Penitentiary Or The Cemetery. I Have The Same Violent Temper My Father And Older Brother Had. Both Died Of Injuries From Street Fights In Baltimore, Fights Begun By Flare-ups Of Their Tempers.

A Part Of Control Is Learning To Correct Your Own Weaknesses. The Person Doesn't Live Who Was Born With Everything. Sometimes He Has One Weak Point, Generally He Has Several. The First Thing Is To Know Your Faults. And Then Take On A Systematic Plan Of Correcting Them. You Know The Old Saying About A Chain Only Being As Strong As Its Weakest Link. The Same Can Be Said In The Chain Of Skills A Man Forges.

I'm Only Going One Way.

The Termites Have Got Me.
