I cant think of anything more humiliating than losing a ballgame to a guy who steals home on you. It happened to me one time against Kansas City. I had a 2-2 count on the hitter - and Amos Otis broke from third. The pitch was a ball and slid in safe. I felt like a nickel.

I grew up with the thought that I wanted to treat people the way I'd like to be treated, and I think if you do that, it's pretty hard to go wrong.

I feel very fortunate that I played for the four organizations I did.

I like to refer to my years with the Angels as the foundation of my career.

And to play as long as I did and to have a family you have to be very blessed and I was with my wife Ruth. Ruth, I appreciate the job you did, and my three fine children, Reid, Reese, and Wendy.

Dick Moss, my agent. Dick became my agent in 1979 when I signed my contract with the Houston Astros.

And that's what makes this a great game, is the support and the commitment that the fans give the game.
