My views are just about the same as Casey's.

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played 7 years without ever hitting the ball.

As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.

Billy copied Casey to a 'T.'

The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.

The best team I ever saw, and I really mean this, was the '61 Yankees.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
