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.

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

Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. To last as long as I did with the skills I had, with the numbers I produced, was a triumph of the human spirit.

I had a .200 lifetime batting average in the major leagues, which tied me with another sports great averaging 200 or better for a ten-year period: Don Carter, one of our top bowlers.

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

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat.
