I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment.

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.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

Sure, women sportswriters look when they're in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word?

My kids used to do things to aggravate me, too. I'd take them to a game, and they'd want to come home with a different player.

I spent three of the best years of my life in 10th grade.

I make fun of situations and try and find the humor in things, but it's never at the expense of the other guy.
