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

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

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.

You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year...unfortunately, I had been in the majors for two years at the time.

I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don't even get printed.

I did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career - anything for a laugh.

Anyone with talent can play in the Major Leagues; for someone like me to stay around as long as I did, I think that's a much greater acheivement.
