My Father Loved Baseball And

Cooperstown Is The Greatest Place On Earth.

I Went On Inactive Duty In August 1945, And Since I Had Stayed In Such Good Shape And Had Played Ball On Military Teams, I Was Ready To Start For The Indians Just Two Days Later, Against The Tigers.

I Needed To Join The Navy. If You Ask The People In Europe Who Won World War Ii, They Don't Say The Allies, They Say The United States Won The War And Saved The World.

I Was Only A Gun Captain On The Battleship Alabama For 34 Months. People Have Called Me A Hero For That, But I'll Tell You This - Heroes Don't Come Home. Survivors Come Home.

If You Believe Your Catcher Is Intelligent And You Know That He Has Considerable Experience, It Is A Good Thing To Leave The Game Almost Entirely In His Hands.
