Baseball didn't really get into my blood until I knocked off that hitting streak. Getting a daily hit became more important to me than eating, drinking or sleeping.
I thought he had been shot.
After I got that hit off Satchel (Paige), I knew I was ready for the big leagues.
I played my best everyday. You never know when someone may be seeing you play for the first time.
In that case Mr. Barrow, Mr. Gehrig is a very underpaid ballplayer.
I always thought there was at least one person in the stands who had never seen me play, and I didn't want to let him down.
