My Problems Are All Behind

I Was Three Over. One Over A House, One Over A Patio, And One Over A Swimming Pool.

Old Third Basemen Become First Basemen, And Old First Basemen Become Designated Hitters.

He Said I Couldn't Do (off The Field) What I Did When I Was 23 Or 24, And I Paid Attention To Him. Damn It, I Got A Trainer And Went To Spring Training In The Best Shape Of My Career And In 1985 Had The Best Season I Ever Had And We Won The World Series. Before That, I Didn't Know How Long I Was Going To Play. That Talk With Mr. Fogelman Was The Most Inspiring Talk I Ever Had With Anyone.

My Father Cared A Lot About Me, But He Never Gave Me The Satisfaction Of Really Knowing It. Hitting .390 Wasn't Enough For Him. Nothing Seemed To Be. He Was Not Trying To Be Mean. He Was Just Seeing To It That I Never Got Self-satisfied, That I Worked Hard To Get The Most Out Of What I Had.

Even Today, If The Royals Win Six Games All Year, If They're Going To Go 6-156, I Hope They Beat The Yankees Six Times.
