I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.
I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.
Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.
Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.
Thank God for baseball.
