Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

I would order a dozen bats and there were times they'd come back with handles at each end.

I had a great shoe contract and glove contract with a company who paid me a lot of money never to be seen using their stuff.

Before broadcasting for 50-some years, I did TV, played 10 years in the big leagues, won a world championship - and played a big part in that, too, letting the Cardinals inject me with hepatitis. Takes a big man to do that.

Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products.
