I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn't appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.

I signed a very modest $3,000 bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee. And my old man didn't have that kinda money to put out.

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

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

I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase.

After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.

Between me and my roommate, we've hit 400 Major League home runs.
