A lot of people wrote that Roger (Maris) and I didn't like each other and that we didn't get along. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Listen to your moms and dads. In this great country of ours you do whatever you set your mind to. Make us proud of you.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.
