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.

They broke it to me gently. The manager came up to me before a game and told me they didn't allow visitors in the clubhouse.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

I remember one time I'm batting against the Dodgers in Milwaukee. They lead, 2 - 1, it's the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, two out and the pitcher has a full count on me. I look over to the Dodger dugout and they're all in street clothes.

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

The highlight of my baseball career came in Philadelphia's Connie Mack Stadium when I saw a fan fall out of the upper deck. When he got up and walked away, the crowd booed.

They have Easter egg hunts in Philadelphia, and if the kids don't find the eggs, they get booed.
