When I looked at the third base coach, he turned his back on me.

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.

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

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.

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.

When I looked at the third base coach, he turned his back on me.

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