When I Got To Professional

I'm A Very Lucky Guy. I Had So Many People Help Me Over The Years That I Never Had Many Problems. If I Had A Problem, I Could Sit Down With Someone And They Would Explain The Problem To Me, And The Problem Become Like A Baseball Game

When I Got To Professional Ball I Used To Play 150 Games Every Year. It Depends On How Many Games There Was.

It Isn't Hard To Be Good From Time To Time In Sports. What Is Tough, Is Being Good Every Day.

I'm Not The Type Of Guy To Go Out And Just Say, 'hey, I'm Raising My Fist To Do This And Do That.' I Don't Think I'm That Type Of Guy. I Wasn't A Leader The Way Other People May Have Wanted Me To Be.

I Remember The Last Season I Played. I Went Home After A Ballgame One Day, Lay Down On My Bed, And Tears Came To My Eyes. How Can You Explain That? It's Like Crying For Your Mother After She's Gone. You Cry Because You Love Her. I Cried, I Guess, Because I Loved Baseball, And I Knew I Had To Leave It.
