I led the league in go get 'em next time.

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.

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.

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

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

I had slumps that lasted into the winter.

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.
