It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.
I guess you could say I'm what this country is all about.
Hey man! Get away from me!
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.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
